ACTivate Workshops

Take a look at Alex in the leading role of Edward in Pretty Woman at the Savoy Theatre!

As Alex’s other half in real life (as well as ACTivate), I could not have been prouder of him when I saw the show last week.

It’s clear that this is a really special company of actors and crew. The joy and energy of the cast during the bows was utterly uplifting and completely electrifying. Creative teamwork at its finest ✌️

Happy Birthday, Shakespeare!

In case you hadn’t guessed, we’re big fans 🤓

We’re really passionate about unlocking Shakespeare for young people. Our schools workshops bring the text to life and are designed to boost children’s engagement and comprehension of his writing. We dive into the worlds of Shakespeare’s stories with an imaginative and action-packed practical exploration of the story and characters. (For more information about our Shakespeare workshops, head to our website - link in bio!)

In fact, Phoebe is such a Shakespeare fan that she travelled the world for two years with the Globe’s touring production of Hamlet! During this extraordinary journey, a small team of 12 actors and 4 stage managers visited 197 countries, travelling 310,647 kilometres!

It was a unique privilege to see the power of theatre in action: to cross borders, transcend language barriers and connect people in different corners of the globe through a shared experience of a play written 400 years ago.

Here’s the moment that the actors performed excerpts of the play for President Obama on the Globe stage on 23rd April 2016☀️

Thank you to for the lunchtime fuel this week!

Ann even looked up our ACTivate phone number and texted us when we were batting with dodgy phone signal...customer service doesn’t get better than that!
