‘Macbeth’ by William Shakespeare
Description
Are you or yours studying Macbeth at school? Do you enjoy Shakespeare? Or perhaps you didn't enjoy it at school or are curious about what it's all about. This is the show for you!
Set in the atmospheric Sanctuary Theatre, the production entails a 70-minute telling of Shakespeare's classic tale of murder and witchcraft. Suitable for all ages, it is particularly suitable for students studying the play at post primary and college levels and to those studying Performing Arts. The play is followed by a lively illustrated presentation by Director Trevor Gill (BBC, RSC) on the background to Macbeth and why witchcraft and the murder of kings were very much 'in the news' when Shakespeare wrote it! The actor's will then retake the stage to be 'hot-seated' by audience questions.
THE MACBETH PROJECT IS AVAILABLE TO VISIT SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES - CALL TREVOR GILL 07885 748727
Audience reaction: "My son had a great time watching this play... He came straight home from school telling me he loved it, which isn’t a statement I hear a lot from him as a 15 year old!'"... "Mesmerising, I couldn't take my eyes off the stage".... "The play was excellent. We also like the historical context and the Q&A with the talented cast. They have inspired our girls and brought the text to life which isn't always possible in a classroom. (Martin Ferguson, Ashfield Girls' School)"
