The Shakespeare Project

February 2010 - April 2010

This exciting and innovative new drama production is designed for Year 8 English students and aims switch young people on to Shakespearean language.

The production is:

• - Modern - a story about a group of rebellious girl teenagers, using modern language interwoven with Shakespearean language.  The plot follows the main Shakespearean themes of murder, love and revenge - setting them all on a modern setting with the aim of clearly demonstrating to students how relevant Shakespeare and his stories still are. 
•  - Interactive - with some lines read out by audience members.
•  - Multi-media - our bank of screens help ground the story in reality with faux-news footage, annotations, and thematic notes clearly displayed throughout. 
•  - Funny - this black comedy about three very bad girls satirises a typical English secondary school with merciless caricatures of staff and students. 
•  - Bloody - In the true traditions of Shakespeare the play ends with very few characters left alive (but don't worry - we perform the piece on a waterproof floor-cloth so all the washable 'stage' blood stays contained within the set!).
  

All the main texts studied at Year 8 are included - the play takes elements from each including key passages, themes and characters.
