‘Mantle of the Expert’ Through Shakespeare: Dorothy Heathcote Guides Life Learning for Motor Vehicle Mechanics, Takes Shakespeare Workshops and Inspires Music for Special Needs Pupils

This book records the work of a teacher making Shakespeare’s plays accessible to college students, including motor vehicle mechanic apprentices and secretarial trainees, through the drama-in-education life-learning principles, called “Mantle of the Expert,” of Dorothy Heathcote. These principles are also applied to those excluded from school, to music teaching for Special Needs pupils and English tutorials for young people. Included are detailed descriptions of workshops given by Dorothy Heathcote on “Antony and Cleopatra” and “Much Ado About Nothing” to students of the Mencap National College, Dilston, Northumberland.
