Activity 1 - The Tempest
-
Did you know?
William Shakespeare was no stranger to self-isolation. In 1606, due to the outbreak of the bubonic plague, his theatre troupe was quarantined for about a year. During which time he penned, (or rather, 'quilled'), King Lear and Antony & Cleopatra. See, it's not all bad! Using Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' as inspiration, create your own work of art on the page from the play.Thanks to Arc artist and volunteer David Milligan-Croft for this weeks activity.
