Prague Playhouse

Shakespeare in Scotland

Our Meisner friends at The Actor’s Temple in London have a great Spring retreat planned. Several cheap airlines fly direct from Prague to Edinburgh, so why not give it a go!

‘A profound and nurturing experience. Chesters and the surrounding area is idyllic and I feel extremely lucky to have experienced this “actor’s retreat.’ Mohammad Homouda

‘The two weeks I spent at Chesters were undoubtedly amongst the happiest of my working life to date.’ Prue Gillett

After our successful production of Chekhov’s Three Sisters at Chesters last September we are now introducing a unique week’s training at the Georgian mansion house in the Scottish Borders. Nestled in a valley alongside the River Teviot, Chesters is surrounded by hills, vast horizons and spectacular views and yet is only 1.5 hrs drive away from Edinburgh and Newcastle.

The Shakespeare Retreat is an opportunity to escape the city and dedicate an entire week to your acting and to you. Tom will demystify Shakespeare and get you acting with your whole heart – all within the peace and tranquility of the Scottish countryside.

Preparation: Specific plays and scenes will be chosen by Tom when we know the dynamic of the group attending. You will be notified of any preparation needed before the course.

Timetable: Each morning will begin with meditation, followed by 4 hours of tuition and direction; leaving plenty of time each day for relaxation and reflection.

Accommodation: All meals are provided throughout the week and you will stay at Chesters in shared accommodation.

Travel : You are responsible for organizing travel to Scotland. We suggest catching the direct train from London Kings Cross to Berwick-Upon-Tweed, flying to Newcastle or Edinburgh or driving. Return transport from Berwick-Upon-Tweed train station to Chesters is included in the course fee.

Dates: Arrival: Sunday 25th May. Departure: Friday 31st May.
Time: 10am–2pm Monday to Friday
Cost: £450 (a £225 deposit secures your place)
