This workshop lets you experience how comic actors and directors set about making their audiences laugh. A short talk will introduce Roman comedy: its content and authors and their use of stereotypes, stage-space and physical theatre. Then, using a section of a Roman comedy as a script, you will work together to bring out its side-splitting potential – from how you say the lines to what you wear and where you stand while you say them. 

Booking required - please ring Touchstones on 01706 924492. For older children aged 10-16. Unaccompanied children must bring a completed parental consent form issued on booking.
