We want our audiences to have memorable visit to theatre that will make them want to go back.
Our company mission with regards to our Shakespeare Sessions (Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet and The Merchant of Venice) is to present an exciting synthesis of a scholarly review that includes analyses of major themes, discussion and performance that has the primary goal of aiding learners in their leaving and junior cert examinations with an emphasis on clarity and a playful engagement with the text that allows the young audience to learn while enjoying themselves.
