ALL the world is a stage for the 80 pupils who adorned theatrical costumes for their Shakespearean week.

Kids from Crockerton School near Warminster dressed up as characters from the play a Midsummer Night's Dream as part of a celebration of Elizabethan arts last week.

As well as fancy dress the children took part in writing and drama workshops ending with a special assembly for parents.

Key Stage One teacher Liz Vickery said: "The children dressed up and we had elves, fairies, donkeys and things. They really enjoyed it."

The week was completed with a bird display in recognition of the sport of hawking, which was a past time enjoyed by the nobility during the Elizabethan period.
