RADA Shakespeare Awards
What People Say
WHAT CANDIDATES SAY
"Whatever your level of knowledge and skill, you will be challenged and stretched to make new breakthroughs in your approach and understanding to acting Shakespeare. This is no traditional exam or award, but a process where you will constantly learn and be encouraged to evaluate and extend yourself; it's a personal journey and you'll learn to connect with the text on a very human level, and really feel it (not just read it and think about it). I'm at the very start of my Shakespeare journey with RADA - bronze - and am already humbled and inspired in equal measure, and extremely hungry for more! This is a special and unique place to study and the Shakespeare Awards open that experience up to everyone from any walk of life."
Lois Temel

Angela Wybrow
“The RADA Award has opened up new doors for me, without it I might never have gotten into Shakespeare.”
Becca Hall
