Macbeth Gala Night
Join us for this special Gala night performance of Macbeth. This is a final opportunity to see Shakespeare in Education touring production of 2014.
Over the last 20 years, Shakespeare in Education has successfully toured to schools colleges and community venues. Our primary aim has been to enable young audiences to experience live performance within their local school.
This year’s production of Macbeth is set during the early days of the Russian Revolution. The Play is re imagined as an alternate history to this turbulent period in the early 20 century
The story opens with the execution of Tsar Nicholas Alexander. We meet Macbeth as a hero of the Bolshevik revolution and staunch supporter of the new leader Duncan. (Lenin). The state is liberated from the old imperialist rulers and the new order of collectivisation is about to dawn. The backdrop of Russian history lends itself perfectly to Shakespeare’s timeless classic. Murder, treason and treachery are all to be found in the early days of the Russian Revolution. Can Duncan survive long enough to establish a new Cultural Revolution whist remaining true to the cause of the mortified man? Will Banquo’s issue ever reign in this kingdom? Macbeth will be satisfied, deny him this and an eternal curse will fall.
A powerful retelling of this story using only Shakespeare’s text.

Love and Money
by Dennis Kelly
David conducts an office romance by email. He has love at his fingertips. But a shocking admission unravels his relationship piece by piece.
Jess loves David. She believes happiness can be bought-but it doesn't come cheap in the world of easy credit.
Jess and David's ideal blend of love and money is killing them.
Funny but heart wrenching, this ingenious drama dares us to enter a dislocated world of bad debts and even worse desires.

Noughts and Crosses Adapted from Malorie Blackman’s novel by Dominic Cook
With echoes of Romeo and Juliet, Noughts and Crosses is an electrifying, bittersweet love story set in a society divided by racial bigotry and a world rocked by terrorism.
Sephy (a Cross) is the daughter of the deputy Prime Minister. Callum is the son of a Nought agitator. United by a shared sense of injustice as children, and seperated by intolerance as they grow up, their desire to be together begins to eclipse all family loyalty-sparking a political crisis of unimaginable proportions.
