Tired of mindless drivel on T.V.? Theatre is the key! “An Evening Off” will show you Shakespeare in a new light. For the first time MOPA Theatre Company, supported by the Arts Development Officers of Herts, Beds and Bucks, is making available its celebrated school work for all members of the community, irrespective of age or background.

Professional actors will perform extracts from some of Shakespeare’s most famous plays. MOPA’s will encourage audience participation and plenty of laughs. Shakespeare does not have to be dull and boring, on the contrary, as Nic Brownlie, the Artistic Director says, “You only have to go to the Globe to realise that Shakespeare is not about an elitist education – it’s about blood and guts and stories and action that everyone can get involved with and enjoy”.

MOPA Theatre Company has been in existence since 1993, specialising in the education/schools market. The company has received great acclaim for its remarkable interactive Shakespeare tours: “This is the best interactive performance/presentation I have seen in my 33 years of teaching” says Alan Ramage of Parkside Community Technology College in Plymouth. “This was a wonderful day. We were so impressed by the actors’ professionalism, enthusiasm and relationship with the students. Excellent!” The Prittlewell School in Essex agrees.

Come and see for yourself – we guarantee you’ll love every minute! Tuesday 1st June, Chipperfield Village Hall 7.30pm. For more information please call MOPA on 01582 842 876
