SGCNZ NATIONAL SHAKESPEARE SCHOOLS PRODUCTION (NSSP)

“I will never forget NSSP 2020. It taught me many things about myself and what I was capable of .” — Caleb Arkwright NSSP Student 2020

SGCNZ NSSP SELECTIONS 2024

Congratulation to all those students selected for NSSP this year. LIST

SGCNZ’s National Shakespeare Schools Production (NSSP) is a residential week-long intensive course, studying elements of Shakespeare’s works, in particular three of his plays, under the direction of leading directors.

First-rate tutors run workshops with the entire group for half of each day. In the other half the students in their three groups rehearse with their Director, until the grand finale of the week: public performances of scenes from the play each cast has studied. Along side this are other activities that will add to the overall experience.

This year NSSP will be held in in Dunedin (for the last time in the foreseeable future) at the Tolcarne Boarding Residence, Maori Hill from Saturday 28th Sept- Sunday 6th October 2024.
