'I bet you think you know this story.

You don't. The real one's are much more gory.'

A play in two days is a fun filled drama 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 the workshop, the group will create their own version of Roald Dahl’s “Revolting

Rhymes” which take a rather different look at some of the best known Grimm’s Fairytales.

They will develop characters, learn stagecraft skills, 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 as they not only create their version of some of

the Revolting Rhymes through ensemble work but hone their storytelling skills. Will Jack

ever learn to wash, who will take the Bears' side against Goldilocks, will Red Riding Hood

manage to help those poor Pigs get rid of the Wolf once and for all? So much to explore in

these fun and wonderful tales with bite and there is no limit to what can be achieved; who

knows what strange and wonderful characters that 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 and costumes to help create the world of their play.

It will be  two 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 discounts available, simply email us at

hello@bristolacademyofdrama.co.uk 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.
