Shakespeareathon
Shakespeareathon4th June 2016 to 5th June 2016, 19:30 to 20:30 at The Avenue Theatre, Gippeswyk Avenue (0.8 miles)
Perform on our stage and join Red Rose Chain this June for an extraordinary explosive 25 hour sponsored Shakespeare Marathon to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death and to celebrate 25 years of Red Rose Chain.
We are fundraising to create a brand new creative story telling project for under 5's and their families in Chantry and surrounding areas. Designed to give parents the tools and encouragement to read to their children and have the confidence to bring stories alive, laying the groundwork for a child's later social, communication and interpersonal skills. Through sponsorship you can make a really big difference to local lives in your local community.
Decide on a piece or extract you want to perform from any of the 37 plays and 154 sonnets by the brilliant bard. This can be anything from 1 minute to 30 minutes. You can perform this on your own, with your friends, your group, your colleagues or maybe even your dog. No animals were harmed in the making of this sentence...
Don't worry, you don't have to take part in the entire 25 hours, unless you want to. You will be given a choice of time and allocated a slot. So if you've ever fancied playing 6th Citizen in Coriolanus at eight o'clock in the evening or 2nd Pirate in Pericles at half past one in the morning,now is your chance.
All you have to do is ask people to sponsor you for this big feat of a Shakespeare feast. The minimum donation amount to take part is only �£10, or 10 sovereigns if that's the way you roll.
