Recently, two large audiences of family and friends, as well as Wyvern’s Years 5 and 6 students were treated to a performance of two of Shakespeare’s finest works, in morsel-sized, respectfully-reduced, artfully abridged pieces. The 2014 Year 7 Production was a combination of Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth – the plays lasted 20 minutes each and had the audiences laughing and crying at the best bits of the bard’s humour and tragedy, with a couple of litres of fake blood thrown in.

Each one of the very talented actors who auditioned got to perform on the night, with some very flexible players performing multiple roles in both plays. Everyone who was involved should be heartily congratulated for learning their lines, rehearsing and performing in a very short time period.

Look out for more from the most significant playwright of the English language in our 2015 season!
