Young people enjoy the Shakespeare workshop at Rochdale Central Library
A new generation of thespians were introduced to Shakespeare’s work at an interactive workshop showcasing one of the bard’s best loved stories at Rochdale Central Library as part of national Shakespeare week.
Dozens of children enjoyed a fast-paced performance of King Lear, revelling in the unique tale of romance, revenge and sibling rivalry, at the Oldham Coliseum Theatre education department run workshop.
Councillor Daalat Ali, Rochdal Council cabinet member for libraries, said: “Shakespeare’s work is a literature gift that just keeps giving.
"It was fantastic to see so many children enjoying the Bard’s timeless plays and plotlines.
“I would like to thank Oldham Coliseum Theatre's education department for putting on such an accessible and enjoyable performance.”
