A play in 3 days is workshop offering children aged 7-11 years the opportunity to devise, rehearse and perform a play under the guidance of our experienced Drama Facilitators.

Throughout 3 days the group will create a play inspired by Roald Dahl’s The Twits. They will develop characters, learn stagecraft skills, discuss and devise scenes to build their play for a performance on the final afternoon for family and friends to enjoy. This process is designed to develop creative thinking, drama and improvisation skills and build confidence and teamwork.

Students can let their imagination run wild, creating their own interpretation of the absurd story of Mr and Mrs Twit. There is so much more to explore in this fantastical story of how this rather mean couple get their comeuppance. What tricks will the animals play on this strange and quirky couple? What awful misdeeds will Mr and Mrs Twit inflict on the animals in their garden? And will the Roly Poly bird learn how to teach them a lesson? There is no limit to what can be achieved in this short time; who knows what strange and wonderful characters can be created and what worlds their audiences will be transported to.

Not only will they receive guidance and help from our Facilitators but they will be given props, costumes and basic set in which to create the world of their play.

It will be 3 days of building fun memories, learning new skills and making new friends.

Due to limited spaces available, it is recommended that parents/guardians book early to avoid disappointment. Early bird and sibling discount available, simply email us at [email protected] for discount codes and booking information

All children will need to bring is their willingness to get stuck in, their imagination, comfy clothing and plenty of food and drink to keep their energy levels up.
