On Tuesday evening we took a group of 100 Year 11 students to the Northern Stage in Newcastle to experience the latest production of ‘Macbeth’. The students thoroughly enjoyed critiquing this contemporary and powerful performance, engaging with the stage adaptations and modernised elements of the play in relation to their understanding from their studies in school.

It was a great opportunity to see Shakespeare come to life on stage and to see how the messages and cautions from the play still resonate with with audiences today. An unforgettable evening had by all!
