Write Like Shakespeare

Write Like Shakespeare

Chester Lane LibrarySt Helens, England
Thursday, Mar 26, 2026 from 1:30 pm to 4 pm GMT
Overview

Can we writers learn anything from that long dead bloke?

People say Shakespeare is the greatest writer England has ever produced.

What can we learn from him?

How can the man with the long hair and the earring who wrote in verse (some of the time) and left his wife his second-best bed in his will, guide us to be better writers.

A fun, creative opportunity to hear some Shakespeare text and to write our own stuff.

You don’t need to know ANYTHING about the man to come along.
