The London Shakespeare Workout (LSW) Prison Project, a fully registered national charity with the Charity Commission of England and Wales, we aim to be of service both to the theatrical profession and to the broader community at large.

One of the outstanding aspects of living in New York City over the past twelve years has been an institution called ‘The Shakespeare Workout’, which is run on a regular basis by a marvellous individual, Eloise Watt, and her encyclopaedic knowledge of the Bard’s canon.  Actors may come and go as they please, attending whenever they can.

Indeed, why shouldn’t one have a place to regularly workout on one’s body of Shakespeare, (A Gym for the Bard so go speak), much as one goes to a gym to workout on one’s own physical body. Surely, both offer as much succour to the soul!  London Shakespeare Workout (LSW) is, without question, an effective tool to arm an actor's confidence and awareness for the week to come.
