Just Add Shakespeare with James Cooney

Over 2 sessions we will explore how to approach Shakespeare’s texts. We will investigate the ‘rules’ of Shakespeare, what they might offer us as actors, and how we translate this into performance.

You will bring 1 Shakespearean monologue (in verse) that you would like to work on over the 2 sessions and apply what you learn in lessons to the text. You do not need any prior Shakespeare experience, just your curiosity, playfulness and and a desire to learn.

A series of two practical in-person workshops (3 hours) for groups of 12-14 actors.

Tue 18 and Tue 25 August 2026 at Old Diorama - (6:30-9:30pm)

  • Expert Guidance: Led by an experienced actor workshop leader and acting coach with 25 experience with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare’s Globe, Almeida Theatre and set for Andor (Disney +).

  • Inclusive & Supportive: Every actor gets involved, shares ideas, and learns from the group

  • Practical & Creative: Focused on real acting challenges and creative growth
