Cracking Open Shakespeare: An interactive reading workshop | 24 January, 10AM | Champaca Bookstore, Indiranagar

Ever read a Shakespeare play and felt quite lost?

Find the language is too dense? The meaning and the hype impossible to see?
 
Then this workshop is for you!

Join us for an interactive session that demystifies the Bard’s work and makes it come alive — not as high art, but as the gripping, witty, and dramatic entertainment it was always meant to be! 

Here are all the Event Details:

Date: 24th January, Saturday
Time: 10 am to 1 pm
Venue: Champaca Bookstore, Indiranagar
Fee: INR 750
Age Group: 13 years and above

Since seats are limited, we request you to register to reserve your spot.

What to expect?

Through fun, practical exercises, we’ll explore:
- Verse & the Iambic Pentameter: How rhythm shapes meaning and emotion in Shakespeare’s text.
- And Rhetoric: how Shakespeare’s characters persuade, argue, and plot their way through every scene

We’ll break down sonnets, famous speeches and scenes together, lightly touch on the themes and contexts, and end with a lively group reading to celebrate the text’s performative power.

Walk away with simple tools to get reading and enjoying Shakespeare on your own. Open yourself to one of the best in world literature, learn from his characterizations and storytelling, and see the magic that has kept his work alive for over 400 years.

No prior experience needed. Just bring your curiosity and a pencil and we'll bring the fun!
