Event

Ever wonder what theatre actors are thinking on opening night? Or what goes on in the rehearsal room?

This session will be led by Moya O'Connell, an actor from Bard on the Beach, who will answer your questions about Shakespeare’s language, characters, and plays, and what it’s like to bring them to life on stage. Moya will share her favourite tips and tricks, and talk about what her artistic process is like when approaching a part in a Shakespeare play.

Open to anyone interested in theatre, acting, and Shakespeare - all ages welcome.
