John Chisham – Benvolio, Romeo & Juliet
Whilst not working as a Schools Outreach Coordinator for CSSF, John is an actor and writer. “I chose Benvolio because the spotlight never shines on him – he's always the peace-keeper, in the background of the action. I wanted to explore Benvolio’s place in the world, and how he may express himself if he was alive today.”
Coram SSF is a cultural education charity that exists to instil curiosity and empathy, aspiration and self-esteem, literacy and teamwork - giving young people the confidence to see that all the world is their stage.
