Suzy Eddie Izzard Brings Shakespeare to Louth school pupils

Suzy Eddie Izzard Inspires Pupils with Shakespeare Visit

World-renowned actor, comedian, and campaigner Suzy Eddie Izzard visited St Michael’s CofE Primary School in Louth on November 3, engaging pupils in a lively discussion about Shakespeare. The visit was organized by the Lincolnshire-based Creativity Academy, a charity dedicated to nurturing creativity and confidence in young people.

A Visit to Remember

Currently touring globally with her acclaimed solo production The Tragedy of Hamlet, Izzard met with Key Stage 2 pupils and staff, performing selected scenes from her show — which recently enjoyed sold-out runs in London and on Broadway.

Conversation on Art and Imagination

During the one-hour visit, Izzard joined multi award-winning actor and director Ben Keaton, founder of the Creativity Academy, in a conversation about creativity, Shakespeare, and life as an artist. The pair originally worked together in London’s comedy circuit during the 1990s.

“Our aim has always been to give children direct access to outstanding creative minds — to show them that art, performance and ideas belong to everyone,”

Ben shared that he hoped the visit would be an unforgettable experience and a reminder of what imagination and courage can achieve.

The Creativity Academy, based in East Lindsey, continues its mission to connect young learners with artists who inspire and challenge them to think creatively.
