Hey all! I'm just trying to raise awareness for an initiative created by myself and a fellow actor which is designed to promote Shakespeare to children in Wales. Together we've created a set of workshops for schools designed to make the works of William Shakespeare fun and accessible for children.

Our company is called 'Bard Busters' and  the simple aim of our workshops is to help students to feel comfortable and confident with Shakespearean text, so they can pick up a Shakespeare play and not want to immediately put it back down! What's more they feel that they can discuss the stories; the language should be the key rather than a barrier to understanding the plot. We use the tools, knowledge and skills acquired during training to help students not only understand Shakespeare but to enjoy it!

As I say we're just trying to raise awareness about what we're trying to do, and any help that anyone can offer is greatly appreciated. If anyone wants to find out more please feel free to contact us at bardbusters1@gmail.com or if you know of any schools who maybe interested in having us come along we'd love to have their details.

Thanks for reading guys and hope you all have a great 2014! Please feel free to join the Bard Busters page on the NTW website for frequent news and updates
