In autumn 2019, Shakespeare in Italy UK based founders Julian Curry and Mary Chater started running Snacking on Shakespeare sessions as #volunteers in #Brighton as part of the #LivingWellFestival for the #over50's.

People sat in a circle, read scenes, discussed them and then stood them up in pairs and / or for the group.

This follows the pattern of our #InternationalSummerSchools began in 2014 in Italy.

After running some classes in sheltered housing accommodation in downtown Brighton in Jan / Feb 2020, the first lockdown began.

Online sessions with #GettingTogetherMatters, part of UK charity #VolunteeringMatters started in October 2020 and numbers are growing all the time.

The #over50's playreading group started online in October and will continue from #January14th #2021.

Anybody is welcome to join who likes reading aloud, reading plays aloud and having fun together while we do it! You don't have to read, you're very welcome to come and #listen. 

Clement Clarke Moore (1799 - 1863) who wrote 'Twas the Night Before Christmas came from a prominent family and his father Benjamin Moore was the Bishop of New York who was famous for officiating at the inauguration of George Washington. 

#JohnNettles  led a module for our international summer school in #Padua in #2017 on #TheMerchantofVenice with #JaneWymark.
