I'm so lucky and excited to be spending the next two months in London, studying Shakespeare at the world famous RADA. Over the next two months I'll be immersed in studying and performing a variety of Shakespeare's work including monologues, scenes, sonnets and history. The course will culminate in a workshop production, where I will be playing Cloten in Cymbeline. Some of my first experiences on stage were performing Shakespeare but I haven't been able to perform much of it in my professional life, so I'm especially excited to immerse myself in this work. More information on RADA and their courses can be found at www.rada.ac.uk.
