Our work with secondary schools is supported by the Spoore, Merry and Rixman Foundation
Secondary Schools
As well as the full programme of events which runs daily at Norden Farm, we have specially chosen events which can link to the national curriculum and offer further learning opportunities for secondary schools.
Many of the live events which we have chosen for our secondary school audience offer extensive education packs, and can include post show Q&A sessions and wrap around workshops.
We also offer workshops for secondary schools which can take place at Norden Farm or at your school and at any point in the year.
For more information about the Farm Out programme please contact our Education Team at education@nordenfarm.org or call 01628 682563

Shake It Up: The Improvised Shakespeare Show
Shakespeare hasn’t written anything new for an age, so we thought we would give him a hand…
Using his language, your audience suggestions, and our overactive imaginations, ShakeItUp create a brand-new Shakespeare play live on stage, complete with live music, songs, and plenty of laughs.
Pick your authentic Shakespearean genre: Epic History, Romantic Comedy, or Gruesome Tragedy! Pen your wittiest Shakespearean line for our brave actors to pull from their suitably Shakespearean breeches when they need a helping hand – the twist? They’ll have no idea what the line will be before they say it!
Then sit back and watch the hilarity unfold in a totally bonkers play that Willy Shakes himself would be proud of. Expect big laughs, high drama, and plenty of bard-based bedlam!
'Quick witted, inexhaustible and absolutely hysterical' ★★★★★ London Theatre Reviews
'Brilliantly bonkers…one of the best improvised shows out there' ★★★★★ West End Best Friend
'Clever, witty, and extremely funny' ★★★★★ One4Review
ShakeItUp Theatre launched The Improvised Shakespeare Show in 2018. Since then they have performed well over 100 totally improvised Shakespeare plays to audiences across the UK, from the Minack Theatre in Cornwall, to London’s The Other Palace, and to the Edinburgh Fringe; even performing internationally in Italy, Poland, and Germany.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Geneva, 1816. The year without a summer. Trapped inside by the weather, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and young Mary Godwin sit down for a competition: to see who could craft the most spine chilling ghost story.
What Mary created would not only shock her companions, but send shivers up the spines of readers for centuries to come. The tale of a man wracked by grief and fear who wished to heal his broken heart; the tale of a scientist who wished to play god; and the tale of a creator who lost control of his creation…
This chilling new adaptation of Frankenstein embarks on a UK tour following a successful and sold out three week run at Boston Manor House in West London last Autum.
