Me thought I heard a voice cry 'Macbeth shall sleep no more!'

Join Crew of Patches Theatre Company as they take your students on a journey of blood and destruction. Our experienced practitioner will explore the key characters in this Shakespearean tragedy and develop an understanding of just why the Macbeths plotted to kill the king. 

​

Throughout the day we will focus on James I and his fear of witchcraft, The portrayal of Ghosts on Stage, and how the Macbeths slowly descend into madness! 

​

Allow us to take the stress out of your Shakespeare planning and watch as your students stretch their knowledge and grow as individuals. 

​

By the end of the session, your students will...
  • Understand how the English and Scottish King affected the writing of William Shakespeare.

  • Explore Witchcraft in Jacobean England and how Witches were presented on stage.

  • Understand the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth and how they slowly descend into madness. 

  • Explore the role ghosts and visions play in Macbeth.

"They made Shakespeare far less intimidating and made our studio into a place of pure joy. For those that have never done Shakespeare and even for those that had, they all said after they had learnt so much”

Amy Riley, Icon Theatre
