Twelfth Night & LAMDA

LAMDA Brings Shakespeare's Twelfth Night to All Saints

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) to All Saints Catholic College for a fantastic theatrical experience, giving our pupils the opportunity to work with talented young actors and enjoy a live performance of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.

The visit formed part of LAMDA's 2026 Shakespeare in Schools Tour, which brings professional-standard theatre into secondary schools, performed by graduating MFA Professional Acting students.

Pupils were treated to Shakespeare's much-loved romantic comedy, a lively tale of mistaken identity, love and confusion. Following a shipwreck, Viola disguises herself as a young man, setting in motion a wonderfully entertaining series of misunderstandings and unexpected romances.

Alongside the performance, our pupils had the opportunity to work with the LAMDA team, gaining valuable insights into acting, performance and the process of bringing Shakespeare's words to life.

Experiences like these are a wonderful way to make Shakespeare accessible and engaging, allowing pupils to see the plays they study transformed from words on a page into live theatre.

A huge thank you to the LAMDA team for visiting All Saints and providing such an inspiring opportunity for our pupils. We are delighted to be able to offer experiences that encourage creativity, build confidence and nurture a love of the performing arts.
