The Roman Empire
Hazel Weaver (Head Teacher, Abinger Common First School)
All the children were fully involved in the workshop and got great insight into the life of a Roman soldier.  This drama workshop provides a fun way for both girls and boys to become a Roman for short while!

Great Fire of London
Mrs Chamberlain (Head Teacher, Billingshurst School)
It was wonderful that ever child was involved and got the chance to dress up. They were enthusiastic about the follow up work.

Mrs M Shepherd (Coombe Hill Infant)
The Fire of London workshop provided our Yr 2 children with a fantastic opportunity to act out the Fire. It was excellently resourced - each child having a costume; well researched by the workshop leaders and well structured - so every child was fully occupied all the time. we used it as a stimulus for wonderful cross-curricular newspaper reports in our literacy sessions - visual literacy in action! Thank you Matrix Theatre. See you next year.

The House of Tudor
Miss Musgrove (The Greville)
We all had a brilliant time and developed a really good understanding of the everyday lives of Tudors through excellent participation.

The Old Toy Shop
(Wescott First School)
The children particularly commented on how funny the toy soldier was. She also said there was a good mixture of characters for both girls and boys (i.e. a male figure and a female figure). The children really enjoyed the participation song.

Spirit of Ancient Egypt
Mrs Mogridge (The Greville)
What a fantastic day. Ancient Egypt was brought alive in front of our very eyes. A brilliant interactive experience for all the children..

Ms P Keane (Cuddington CPS)
Great workshop! Very informative for children - clear subject knowledge from actors. Loved the colourful costumes and all 26 children were able to participate fully.

Mini Beasts
Mrs Hobhouse (Head Teacher - Coombe Hill Infant School)
This interactive theatre experience for young children enabled the best quality learning about science we have ever seen. We shall certainly book in advance for next year. 

Rosie Keedy (Head Teacher, South Bookham Infants)
How much we enjoyed the minibeast workshop. The children were really engaged and it was a exciting climax to our outdoors week. Thank you again.

Voyage of the Vikings
Mrs Webber (The Greville)
A well planned and exciting experience for the children, lots of hands on involvement.

Chinese New Year
Mrs Hobhouse (Coombe Hill Infant)
The Chinese New Year workshop was excellent  - high quality learning for teachers and pupils alike.
Teachers Comments
OFSTED Said :

Ofsted wrote in their report about Matrix Theatre who were performing their WWII workshop at Epsom Primary School:-

'The curriculum is good and enriched by a range of extra-curricular activities such as the excellent Second World War experience where pupils were able to experience the life of an evacuee.'


About Matrix Theatre

Matrix workshops are not only vibrant and interactive, but are unique as every child has a costume, props and a role to play, Which means that the follow up creative writing class work is inspired and forthcoming.  Every child participates during these educational history dramatisations by joining Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole in the Crimean War, following Guy Fawkes as he becomes part of the Gun Powder Plot and learn how devastating the Great Fire of London was through Samuel Pepys' diary. In order that pupils receive key information during a Tudors, Viking, Roman, Ancient Egyptian and WWII workshop we focus on enhnacing the curriculum. This means that we highlight areas such as the Spartan and Athenian way of life, Evacuees experiences, good and bad, what the life of a pirate was really like. In order to make learning through drama inclusive we offer all our workshops signed and all of them are tactile.

The children's christmas shows are full of audience participation, songs, laughter and interaction throughout.

Matrix is a motivating experience for all children who attend and I hope every one enjoys them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

For older students Matrix offers mental health plays and informative workshops on bullying, stress and Schizophrenia. We also enter the world of Shakespeare and show how accessible and enjoyable his plays can be to every pupil.
I look forward to bringing my workshops and productions to your school.
