The Royal Łazienki Museum offers a unique theatrical workshop titled "Words, words. Words!" Shakespeare & Stanislavski, conducted entirely in English for adults. This event aims to explore the emotional power of William Shakespeare's texts, a playwright particularly valued by King Stanisław August, through the lens of Konstantin Stanislavski's acting method.

The workshop is ideally suited for individuals preparing for auditions, students of theater, and anyone interested in bridging the gap between classical literature and naturalistic acting.
