SHAKESPEARE MONOLOGUE LAB
📆THURSDAY 26th Feb
⏰ 6 - 8 pm
🗺️ - ARTS BAR Studio 3 - 22 Hope Street, Liverpool, L1 9BY
Come with a monologue.
Leave with a method.
Bring a monologue you know or one you’ve never dared to try.
In this focused two-hour lab, Jimmy Fairhurst works with you to strip away the habits, myths, and ‘Shakespeare voice’ that deflate great speeches into something drab and forgettable. You’ll leave with clear, practical tools you can apply to any classical text, giving you the confidence to understand what’s really happening and how you make it your own - A thrilling monologue that entertains whilst delivering clarity and emotional impact.
As a drama school panellist and an employer, Jimmy sees the same overused speeches delivered in the same beige way. This workshop shows you how to use your own instincts and personality to make bold, specific choices that make panels, directors, and audiences sit up and listen.
Jimmy brings the perspective of a working director, adaptor, and long-time Shakespeare collaborator who knows exactly what decision-makers respond to. Expect precise notes, brave choices, and a way into the language that feels lived-in, truthful, and immediate—not like an archaic museum piece.
