Jonathan Slinger: Unlocking Shakespeare’s Characters

Masterclass

Date

October 18, 2024

Time

2.30-4.00pm

Venue

Theatre Royal Haymarket

Join Jonathan Slinger, who has played roles including Hamlet, Prospero, Malvolio, Macbeth and Henry V at the RSC, for this interactive Masterclass on getting under the skin of some of Shakespeare’s greatest characters. A few members will work with Jonathan on a Shakespearean monologue, on stage. However, all members will leave with a valuable toolkit to apply to their own practice.

“Understanding Shakespeare and his characters has really helped me as an actor. Shakespeare, more than any other writer, had brilliant psychological insight. The information you need to play the character - where they come from, their motivation - is all there in the text.”

“The same process applies to any role. I use the same principles whether it’s Shakespeare, Ayckbourn, Beckett or Kane.”

Jonathan is currently playing Pozzo in Waiting for Godot at Theatre Royal Haymarket.
