Imagining The Real
With funding from PAVO’s Powys Social Value Forum Development Fund, and following on from a successful pilot weekend in October, Shakespeare Link is pleased to announce the continuation of our exciting new project:
Imagining the Real is an entirely free opportunity for adults and young people to meet together, play together, talk together and engage in an interactive, drama based exploration, rooted in some of the most universal stories ever told.
It will take place in the beautiful environment of Penlanole, home of the Willow Globe - and the theatre, the fields and woods, will be the backdrop to the story world we create and inhabit together.
Do you love stories?
Do you remember the joy of playing outdoors and the worlds created in your imagination?
In these past times have you felt sometimes a little lonely or isolated…?
Do you want to try something new; something fun and empowering in a safe, friendly space?
We are inviting families and individual adults and young people – eight years and older – to join us at Penlanole and as co-creators, Imagine the Real:
Sunday 11am to 4pm
Bring clothing suitable for the outdoors and a packed lunch

Feedback from previous sessions:
“It was great to work with a mix of ages together. It felt festive and helped me being in a space with others after the pandemic.”
“...fascinating and rewarding.”
“Enjoyable, creative and thought provoking.”
“...Quite unique and fun for all the family.”
“It taught me so much.”
“I am more sociable.”
“So far I have found it very fun and entertaining.”
“A great initiative. Wonderful to have a range of ages working together and to have children learning and devising ideas with adults and alongside them.”
“Thank you so much, it made me find my voice.”
We look forward to meeting you
Imagining The Real
An elderly man in a once fine coat, braces himself against the wind.
In his right hand a battered suitcase. With his left he holds tightly to the right hand of his granddaughter. He feels her shiver.
What stories does he carry? What stories will she live to hear?
Lowering the suitcase he stoops to tighten the woollen scarf around her neck. Then grasping their lives by the worn leather handle once more, they take the first of many, many steps into our future.
We invite you to join us at Penlanole once again to Imagine the Real.
Sunday 5th March - 11am to 4pm
