Dig Shakespeare: archaeology and theatre family workshops

Description: Pop into The Stage archaeology space and try your hand at being an archaeologist for the day or take part in theatrical workshops with The Malachites, Shoreditch's Shakespeare company. Excavate artefacts in dig boxes using archaeologists’ tools, handle objects found on real digs and learn how to record and date Shakespearean artefacts. As well as talking to real archaeologists from MOLA and learning about the history and excavation of Hackney’s Curtain Theatre, actors from local Shakespeare company, The Malachites, will be leading theatrical workshops.

This is a Shakespeare 400 event, as part of The Stage community archaeology programme.
