Suzy Eddie Izzard Brings Shakespeare to Louth School Pupils
World-renowned actor, comedian, fundraiser, and campaigner Eddie Izzard, now known as Suzy, visited St Michael’s CofE Primary School in Louth on November 3. The visit was organized by the Creativity Academy, a Lincolnshire-based charity focused on fostering creativity and confidence in young people.

He added the visit would be “an unforgettable experience for the young people and a brilliant reminder of what’s possible when imagination meets courage.”
The Creativity Academy is a registered charity based in East Lindsey.
Summary: Suzy Eddie Izzard’s visit inspired young students by blending Shakespearean drama with insights into creativity and the arts, highlighting the power of imagination and courage.
