The course sessions run from 7.30pm to 9.30pm every Wednesday, and will cover a whole range of theatre skills and styles.

A spokesman for the Folk House said: “Escape the mundane with this enjoyable drama and improvisation workshop.

“Develop your confidence and creative spontaneity. Play theatre games, learn performance skills and storytelling.

“Explore character, conflict, humour and emotion and learn how to be creative without really trying.

“The workshop is a supportive as well as fun environment. Beginners are welcome.”

People joining the course are asked to wear comfortable clothing and also to bring a notepad, a pen and  you imagination.
