This year, our Youth Theatre (Years 10-13) took on an ambitious challenge: to create brand new work inspired by Macbeth.
Diving into its themes, characters, and enduring relevance, they asked: what does Macbeth mean today?
The result is two bold, imaginative new plays that rework a classic into something urgent, surprising, and entirely their own.
Explore the plays below.
About the Plays
Dead in the Water
At a moment of national crisis, a struggling Prime Minister faces collapsing support, public outrage, and a wave of resignations.
Amid the chaos, one figure rises.
Hardwick.
Calm. Decisive. Persuasive.
The architect of an impossible turnaround and the unlikely hero of the hour.
But power never comes alone.
When strange voices begin to whisper of greater things, Hardwick is forced to choose: protect the truth or bury it.
As a water contamination crisis grips a northern community, the line between leadership and ambition begins to dissolve, with dangerous consequences.
There and Here: A Witches’ Story
“I saw them in the woods.
I saw them dancing.
I saw them doing magic.”
It’s the 1600s.
It’s now.
It’s always. Everywhere and nowhere.
The witches are watching.
Watching a classroom.
Watching the woods.
Watching the ripple of a pebble dropped in water.
A story of sisterhood, spells, and the power to choose your own fate.
