Education and Outreach

Treat your students to a fun and educational theatrical experience.

Are you interested in letting your students be immersed in a magical world of theatre with a multi-award-winning actor/director and a writer?

Do you want your students to be challenged to interpret a contemporary English language play in a stimulating, educating and fun environment?

Do you want your students to learn how to interpret a play and then act out some scenes or even write a brief play themselves?

  • Students can then switch sessions as required
  • Presentation of one of the scenes by some of the students under the direction of Ian
  • Discussion about some of the writing themes developed by the students

“They came to talk to my students about his play and we found it extremely useful and engaging. We worked with the script and discussed the origins of his play and also the writing process.”
Birgit Ellegaard Fiig, Engelsk Studievejleder, Ordrup Gymnasium

"Before going to see his play “Extremophiles” in Krudttønden, That Theatre Company visited us in the classroom and gave an introduction to the play, which was both interesting and captivating. I will definitely invite them back into my classroom."
