A play in 3 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 Bristol Academy of Drama’s experienced Drama Facilitators.

Throughout the 3 days, the group will create their own version of the story inspired by Roald Dhal’s ‘The Witches’. They will develop characters, learn stagecraft skills, devise scenes to build their play for a performance on the final afternoon for family 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 The Witches through ensemble work. Will the High Grand Witch get her wishes, will her clan of children detesting crones effect their evil plan or will the boy and his grandmother save the day? So much to explore in this wonderful tale, perfect for Halloween, and there is no limit to what can be achieved; who knows what strange and wonderful battles and characters that can be created and what worlds their audiences will be transported to.

Not only will they received guidance and help from Bristol Academy of Drama’s Facilitators but they will be given props and costumes to help create the world of their play.

It will be a few 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 events@stwerburghs.org.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.
