playing shakespeare

Besides directing and teaching Shakespeare I also offer:

• 1 to 1 tutoring for preparing a Shakespeare monologue for an audition or preparing for a role.

• A 2-3 hour Introduction to Shakespeare’s language workshop for groups of any size

• More specific workshops tailored to your group’s particular need e.g. focused on one play or a Shakespeare theme

I bring a unique perspective to directing and teaching Shakespeare that is grounded in physicality and making Shakespeare contemporary and resonant.

I’ve worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company as an Associate Education Practitioner delivering workshops and productions around the world, I’ve taught workshops and masterclasses for the Shakespeare Birthplace and I’ve directed numerous productions of Shakespeare in professional and educational settings.

“Gemma Fairlie, as well as directing and adapting this terrific production. also created the war choreography - genius!

I make no excuses for raving about this production. It is, in my opinion, exceptionally brilliant and one I shall remember for a very long time.”
