Pose as a Shakespeare character with your friends at the RSC’s funny faces board

The Royal Shakespeare Company is offering families six weeks of free drop-in entertainment at Stratford during the summer holidays.

One of the highlights will be Fortune’s Wheel in which youngsters act out a part from a play complete with props. The event will take place in and around a newly commissioned miniature stage developed by theatre company Stan’s Café, architect Yinka Danmole and children from a Birmingham primary school. Fortune’s Wheel runs from Saturday 18 July until Sunday 6 September.

Children will also be able to enter the jaws of an aluminium whale for a three-minute show by Coventry theatre company Talking Birds. The Whale is suitable for all ages, fully accessible for wheelchair users and has a hearing loop for hearing aid users. It will be available on Sunday 2 August from 10AM until 1PM and again from 2 until 5PM.

You can also pose as a Shakespeare character with your friends at the funny faces board.

All activities take place on the Bancroft Terrace. Further information is available from the RSC web site.
