Welcome to ShakeSoc!
Hopefully, in looking at this website, you are interested in William Shakespeare; his plays, his sonnets, his life. We at the Shakespeare Society, or ShakeSoc, love the ol’ Bard too and are dedicated to celebrating his works in any way we can. Although a young society, we have already put on five full scale productions, a mini tour, held workshops and weekend shows and run two successful Shakespeare weeks to celebrate the late and greats birthday. However as the society moves into its fourth year we want to make it bigger and better than it has ever been before and for that, We Need YOU!
Shake It Up! Whether through our own productions, attending professional productions or simply over coffee we look to explore the texts’ themes and content and their ability to be transferred to new and exciting contexts. We want to make and experience Shakespeare that is both enjoyable and accessible to as many people as possible.
Come and chat to me and the rest of the exec – we would love to hear your ideas. New Exec Elected

"Present fears are less than horrible imaginings..."
As part of our annual Shakesepare Week, in association with RSC Open Stages, The University of Warwick Shakespeare Society presents... "Macbeth"! Imagine that you are being taken on a tour and the tour guides explain to you that this area was the scene of a bloody and gruesome event some several hundred years earlier... They inform you that many people think this place is haunted because often, on nights similar to this one, people see the ghosts of the event reliving their past errors; plotting and carrying out the events as if they were living them today... On this tour you are led to an eerily grotesque tree and asked to wait there as the tour guides have to leave suddenly. The tree begins to shift and slowly reveals that it is the three witches and some of their victims. The events of the play begin to unfold... As you begin your tour around the area you are guided through the story of Macbeth as the ghosts, who are all slowly decaying, relive the events of their tragic actions. The tour group, equipped with their torches, slowly begin to move around the ruin and experience the reliving of the story of Macbeth. Dates: 7th - 9th May 2011Location: The Wastelands of Scotland Click "attending" on the facebook event in order to receive updates: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=201500709884241 Join the fanpage:http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Dunsinane-Killings-and-Other-Stories/141675002567162 WSAF 2011!
