Last week, students in Year 11 enjoyed a trip to the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith to see a production of Macbeth. It was a contemporary interpretation of the script, featuring the use of mobile phones, cameras, and on-screen projection to explore themes related to communication and conflict.

While it was definitely a different retelling to the original script, students were very reflective of how the director and performers chose to stage the production, which are all helpful considerations in the run up to the summer exams.

The behaviour of students was exemplary throughout the trip, even on the second night when we encountered some unexpected train cancellations! Many thanks to all staff who helped facilitate the event: Ms McPartlin, Mr Houghton, Ms Barnard, Mr Martin, Ms Gardner, Ms Saleem-Carrington, Ms Kelly, Ms Tranter, Ms Coomber and Mr Frost.
