Tutor: Hugh Parry This course is a celebration of the extraordinary generosity with which Shakespeare treated the minor actors in his company who did the bitpart chores. Even in a few lines he could create cameos which would be a privilege to play, either illuminated by flashes of wonderful poetry or given narrative significance far beyond their apparently meagre word-count. Hugh Parry

Leader: Revd Elizabeth Brown Come along for chat and crafting, times of quiet and worship. There will be a swap-shop, rummage bin and information skills-sharing. Revd Elizabeth Brown serves as a Hospital Chaplain in the Northumbria NHS Trust and is an experienced workshop and retreat leader.
