Posted on: 22/11/2021Macbeth WorkshopLast Friday, GCSE Drama students participated in a Macbeth Design workshop led by The Almeida Theatre. The workshop was a follow-up to their theatre trip where they watched The Tragedy of Macbeth, starring Saoirse Ronan. In the workshop, students worked alongside theatre-maker Roberta Zuric, who led tasks and activities around the design aspect of the show. Sidra from Year 10 says We took part in discussions and created installations using various objects based on key themes from the play. Personally, I think it was a very good learning experience and it was lots of fun. I would like to thank the Almeida Theatre for making this workshop possible for us to participate in.
