Macbeth - performed by Year 6

Macbeth - performed by Year 6

The final performance of the Spring Term was an adaptation of Macbeth by William Shakespeare, performed by Year 6. Undaunted by the language, the year group spent the first half of the term learning the plot and exploring the themes of the play before treading the boards on the last day of term. Every student participated in the play. Even those not present for the final performance contributed by producing a digital programme detailing facts about the play and a diary of the rehearsal process. Before the final performance of ‘The Scottish Play’, Year 6 held a dress rehearsal and invited Year 2 from the Pre-Prep as well as Year 6 students from Lemington Riverside Primary School.  The performance was thoroughly atmospheric, aided by the use of beautiful Celtic music and new lighting on stage. Special thanks must go to the kitchen for setting the scene with their amazing Shakespearean dish, ‘Fair is Fowl and Fowl is Fair.’
