William Shakespeare, devised by Nick Brown
Westlake's 'Socially Distanced Shakespeare' was a creative and innovative production that adapted classic Shakespearean scenes to fit the constraints of social distancing. The show featured a series of carefully staged scenes from various Shakespeare plays, reimagined to maintain physical distance between actors while still conveying the emotional depth and intensity of the original works. This unique approach allowed the students to explore the timeless themes of Shakespeare's plays while responding to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, showcasing resilience, creativity, and the enduring relevance of Shakespeare's work.
