An in-person masterclass held at the 503Studio on how to go from the domestic to the mythic. How to find the storm of King Lear’s heath inside a teacup.

Date: Thursday 20th February 2025

Time: 7pm – 9:30pm

Running time of workshop: 2.5 hours – delivered in-person. Maximum class sizes are 16. A portion of spaces have been reserved for Share the Drama places.
