Schools will be performing here, on our stage, on October 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th. "Had I encountered something like Shakespeare Schools Festival, I believe my life would have bounced forward over some of the inhibitions and in comprehensions of adolescence. Childhood deserves such luck." Sir Tom Stoppard, SSF Patron "It was fantastic to see the children up there and having the chance to showcase skills their parents may have never seen before. Just magical." Luke Broughton, St. Stephen's CE Primary School From: 20/10/2014 until: 24/10/2014 Showtime: 7.00pm Tickets: £8.75/£6.75.
