School children visit Martin Harris Centre to watch Macbeth adaptation

In March 2018, two sold-out performances of Shakespeare’s Macbeth were performed for school students at the Martin Harris Centre.

Children from schools across the North West were entertained by 1623 Theatre Company in an adaption called Macbeth: Toil and Trouble which focused on the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth and their deadly obsession with power.

Following each performance ,the children had the opportunity to attend a workshop with the cast focusing on themes from the performance and linked to their English Literature or Drama studies.

This event was part of the Martin Harris Centre's curriculum-based programming for school groups. Other performances in recent years include Othello, Romeo & Juliet and Of Mice and Men.
