For #ShakespeareWeek we have been learning about ‘Romeo and Juliet’. We thought about how it would feel to live your life caught in a place of conflict between two feuding groups and then improvised some drama based on our ideas.

Our incredible performance started outside The Lowry for The Shakespeare Week launch…@ShakespeareWeek #ShakespeareWeek
