The project aims to give young people from disadvantaged areas of London the opportunity to experience live theatre, either by bringing theatre into the school environment, or by bringing young people into the theatre environment at RADA itself. Schools are targeted on the basis that they do not normally have access to live theatre events due to their location, financial situation or resources.

RADA’s 2nd year BA Acting Course students will form the Schools Tour acting company, presenting three 90-minute versions of Shakespeare plays aimed at 14-18 year olds. The plays fit in with National Curriculum Key Stage 4 requirements in English for reading, speaking and listening.
