Beginners (pupils aged between 10 and 13 years)
The plays for beginners are written in extremely simple English.
Themes include space travel, pirates, parent/child relations,
detective stories, traditional folk-tales, and pop music.
The performance style is highly visual and the directors make
use of audience participation in order to maximise the
entertainment value of the plays. Even pupils with only three
months of experience in English language can follow the
performances. The plays for beginners are also increasingly
in demand in primary schools.
 
Intermediate pupils (pupils aged between 13 and 16 years)
The company's plays for immediate pupils are specially written
for teenage audiences, in simple language and with content
that will appeal to teenagers. Themes covered in the plays
include racism, teenage love, youth crime, bullying in school,
eating disorders and drug abuse. These themes are presented
with a mixture of comedy, emotional commitment and visual
action that makes them accessible to all pupils, despite the
language barrier.
 
Advanced pupils (pupils aged between 17 and 20, and adult
audiences)
White Horse Theatre's repertoire for advanced students includes
shortened versions of five Shakespeare plays - the original
language is retained, but the stories have been simplified and
abridged so that the duration of a performance is generally
between 70 and 100 minutes. The repertoire also provides
dramatizations of famous English novels, British and American
plays from the 20th century, and contemporary British plays.
