What’s on

Performed by Illyria

Claudio loves Hero, and Benedick hates Beatrice. This is just as well, because Hero loves Claudia and Beatrice hates Benedick.

​Everyone laughs when Don Pedro plays a trick on Benedick and Beatrice, letting each think that they are secretly loved by the other. But it is no laughing matter when Don John plays a trick on Claudio and Hero, deceiving Claudio into thinking that Hero is not faithful to him.

​Murderous rage is unleashed, and death can be the only solution…or can it?

​Perhaps one last trick may resurrect the innocent dead, restore broken relationships- and even create an unlikely union of Benedick and Beatrice!

​Now in its 30th year, Illyria has delighted audiences the length and breadth of the UK, and in the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France and the United States and Canada performing some of the most well-loved productions on offer.

​The company has won 4 international “Best Performance” awards and attracted numerous ‘5-star” and ‘Critics’ Choice” reviews for the lively clarity of its approach to Shakespeare’s plays and other performances.

Louise never imagined that burnout would happen to her, she was a success story who fell hard and didn’t want anyone to know. Never in peacetime have we lived in more uncertain times, our world is full of fear, conflict, and division. We’re expected to make 5-year business plans and we’d love to make some long-term personal plans but circumstances beyond our control are changing fast and some of us are only surviving when we all deserve to thrive.

Invited to speak nationally as an entrepreneurial role model, Louise quickly learned that audiences wanted to know more about her personal story. It took courage to publicly admit what she saw as failing but feedback shows that her audiences appreciate, identify and learn from her vulnerability and honesty.

Louise Ladbrooke’s anecdotes and stories, both good and bad, offer sage advice as to how to get through and break out of the perceived shackles of the modern-day.

 This session will highlight the factors impacting engagement and motivation in the workplace, and also what this means when we face times of change and uncertainty. We’ll focus on:

• Understanding the important role leaders play in creating the best environment for their people

• Identifying the specific drivers of engagement in the workplace

• Assessing the additional considerations for organisations when encountering change and uncertainty

• Exploring some insights and tools to help you identify engagement gaps in your organisation, to help you build a strategy to address this

Branding your business well is more important today than it’s ever been. And it’s about so much more than the visuals. It’s about having a compelling message, a clear niche, an incisive vision and owning your style. It’s about celebrating what makes you brilliant with flair and intention, demonstrating your expertise and creating a destination brand. It’s about making your business the only logical choice for your ideal clients.

Cutting through the ‘noise’, captivating your customers and retaining this focus can feel overwhelming at times. Because, as modern entrepreneurs, there’s also the business of being well, a creative director, social media manager, copywriter and head of product development often all rolled into one. And that’s just the marketing.
