"I couldn't resist the golden opportunity that was Bristol Old Vic coming stateside, and I can safely say it delivered. Geoff and Kate's instructional styles complement each other nicely: rather than bow to the pressure of Shakespeare’s writing, both approach Shakespeare as he was – a flawed human being who elegantly captured our own condition. The result is nothing short of an enthralling three days: our monologues and auditions were better for it! "

"In their workshops, Geoff and Kate carry a deep curiosity for the actors' craft, to which they bring their considerable experience and passion, while always keeping our relationship with the text and our own craft at the fore. It's an empowering room, and one which accommodates people at all kinds of stages in their work. This approach is a minor miracle in Shakespeare’s education and facilitates some really powerful exploration and growth."
- Carl B. (NYC/ 2024)
“This workshop with Geoff and Kate is an amazing opportunity to truly understand Shakespeare as an actor. Not only does Geoff break down the Shakespeare's words and pentameter in a way that is instinctual - but, he creates such a safe space to come as you are. There is no ego here. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone driven by curiosity, play, and a desire to play Shakespeare …”

“ Bristol Vic’s advanced Shakespeare course is a wonderful experience and a chance to meet many actors practicing domestically and globally. This workshop allows you to explore all dimensions verbally and physically of Shakespeare’s traditional work along with allowing you to express the freedom and see all shades of gray possibilities to bring the works of Shakespeare to life thank you, Geoffrey and Kate.”
- Marcy R. (NYC 2024)
"All of the exercises that Geoff and Kate incorporated into the workshop have actually become tools that give me somewhere to start - not only with Shakespeare, but even contemporary works! It is a curious, enthusiastic, and patient process…"
