Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth
What makes theatre so magic and why is Shakespeare still relevant? When an alarm is deliberately set off during their GCSE drama exam, a group of students find themselves in detention. As they struggle to navigate the seemingly endless tasks theyve been set as punishment, questions are raised. Who set off the alarm and why? Will they ever get out of this detention? Will it cost them their GCSE? And why is Shakespeare still so popular? So begins a meta deconstruction of the play as we move from classroom to theatre, artifice to reality. The performers switch between their characters and their real selves as they interrogate Shakespeare, the canon, the education system, the nature of theatre, and the world itself. They begin to wonder whether the classics really are that classic, or whether we might need to tell a different story altogether.... 'Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth' is being performed as part of our Thursday Young Company, Ages 15-18 Weekly Theatre Academy class as part of National Theatre Connections.

Playwrights Group
Building on our successful cornerHOUSE Write itthen write it better workshops in October 2021, weve formed a playwrights group to help each other improve our writing for the stage. Participants are invited to offer a draft scene/script/part script (5-15 pages) for table-reading and discussion. We meet every six weeks and will usually have time to work on 3-4 such pieces per session. If you dont have a draft ready to share, we need readers (you dont have to be an actor!) and listeners ready to discuss, suggest and provide constructive feedback. Attendance at every session isnt essential, but numbers are limited to 12, so sign up early to secure a place. Youll then be contacted with further details and in case you have any questions.Read more
