Welcome to our free Learning Resources pack for our 2027 touring production of Remember Romeo, a tender revisiting of Shakespeare’s classic story.
Here you’ll find a collection of resources that aims to shed further light on the show and encourage exploration of the story’s themes, history and our approaches to theatre-making, which for this show includes model worlds, live performance, projections and a mix of live and recorded footage.
These resources are intended for all appropriate ages to use (age guidance 14+), from KS3 and GCSE to higher education and adult learning. We hope you find them intriguing, engaging and a catalyst for further discussion and discovery.
If you have any questions about any of the resources, or would like to enquire about booking an education workshop with imitating the dog, please email ben@imitatingthedog.co.uk
