Yesterday we welcomed Sky Blue Theatre Company back to the Oaks Hall for their engaging Shakespeare Rewired workshop. Enthusiastic volunteers from Years 8 and 9 took to the stage alongside the Sky Blue team, bringing to life the stories of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Macbeth to reinforce their recent studies.
Students were then given the opportunity to step into the role of director, reimagining key scenes from each play. The intense and unsettling exchanges between Lady Macbeth and her husband, as they contemplated the murder of King Duncan, provided a striking contrast to the comic energy of Helena’s relentless pursuit of Demetrius.
The workshop was both educational and entertaining, and Sky Blue Theatre Company thoroughly deserve a standing ovation for inspiring such creativity and confidence in our students
