THE FLYING BOOKWORM THEATRE COMPANY

We certainly know that Shakespeare's works are spectacular and timeless, but that's not always the easiest thing to see when first approaching it.

​

The Bookworms specialize in making Shakespeare fun and accessible for students approaching his work for the first time.

​

We are dedicated to presenting Shakespeare's greatest plays in a fun and accessible way.

Using tried and tested techniques such as combining modern language with Shakespeare's text, re-imaginings of key scenes and student participation, mean our shows make Shakespeare's language clearer, his characters more relatable, and his plays more fun for students and teachers alike. 

​

Our excellent resource guides ensure that the vitality of the performance lingers throughout students studies.

​

Our professional actors will guide your students through some of their first forays into Shakespeare's language, encouraging a love of the Bard for years to come.

​

The Flying Bookworm Theatre Company is Victoria's longest running incursion provider, performing, adapting and directing Shakespeare's work for over 45 years.

“Unforgettable. Excellent. Kept the students engaged for the whole session... So much energy!”

WE ARE DRIVEN BY A DESIRE TO IGNITE STUDENTS' JOY & UNDERSTANDING OF SHAKESPEARE.

The Flying Bookworm Theatre Company’s performances are relatable and engaging springboards for students to better grasp the language, characters, humour and themes of each work so that they’re playfully encouraged to explore and find joy in reading and the English language. Through our dynamic 60-minute versions of Shakespeare’s works, we de-mystify elements of each play or sonnet to help create a greater connection to his works and how they still resonate today.
