Devonshire School Tudor Project

Devonshire School contacted Urban Voice with a request for actors to help them with a project based on the Tudors. Working also with curators at the Oak House in West Bromwich, Urban voice provided an on-going project in which two actors worked 'in-role' with the young people, as and when they solved the different sections of the Tudor mystery. The children were encouraged to interact directly with the characters, ask them questions, send e-mails and telephone them as they solved various clues to the story. the piece was completed in December with a final production from the children.

"It's working very well so far, the children actually believe it's real and are getting quite caught up in the story!"
