Masterclasses

For BTEC and AS/A2 students

Masterclasses are all about joining up theory and practice in relation to the artistic roles in the theatre. They're a chance to join a large audience of students to listen to, ask questions of and work with theatre-makers and academic researchers, giving students a taste of what study is like at university, but with content that's spot on for their studies at KS4 or AS/A2.

Cost: £7.50 per student (one free teacher place per 10 student tickets booked)

Book for a morning and afternoon masterclass taking place on the same day
for just £10 per student.

To book call the Box Office on 020 7452 3000 or return a completed group booking form.
