“Perseus & Medusa” interactive theatre show

Join Perseus as he begins his perilous journey that takes him far from home to the land of the hideous Gorgons where he must use his cunning to defeat Medusa - or die!In this original version of a classic Greek myth the children will learn about many aspects of life in Ancient Greece.Filled with facts and hugely fun - we have written this show specifically to appeal to a Key Stage 2 audience. As well as learning loads from the show itself the children are given the opportunity to interact with the three actors during "interactions" that occur at set points in the story - we stop the play and the actors, out of character, sit with the children in groups to talk about plot, character and curriculum points. It is a great way to delve deeper into the children's understanding of what they are watching. Don't take our word for it, though, here's what some teachers have said..."The set, props and costume were clever and relevant, especially with only 3 of you! The acting was excellent! Spot on content and curriculum relevance, you clearly know your stuff. The kids were all very engaged and absolutely loved it. We could have watched lots more! Thank you very much." Liz Broughton/Raegan Oates, Mellor Primary School"Both the workshop and the play were amazing. The children were engaged throughout and learnt a lot from the drama workshop but also deepened their knowledge and understanding of the Ancient Greeks. The production was really well performed, funny, modern twist and well resourced. We have already included you in our planning for next year! Many thanks." Donna Thurlow, Field Court Junior School"Loved the authentic method of acting with the chorus and the educational introduction and chorus parts. These provide lots of points for discussion for teachers to pick up back in the classroom. Excellent set/actors/script-writing. Particularly liked the 2 intervals for gathering what children had learned so far. Workshop fantastic! We will do more of this. Very useful as a beginning to our topic. Outstanding! Thank you so much." Faith Bradbury, Notre Dame Prep School
