Something Wicked This Way Comes...
ABOUT
Vaulting ambition. Unchecked power. A mind undone…
Step into the world of Shakespeare’s most electrifying tragedy for an evening of bold recontextualisation. Join the acclaimed team from Shake & Stir as part of their 20th Anniversary season.
Discover how this classic text has been reimagined for modern audiences, gain behind-the-scenes insights into the creative process, thrash out how to shape thrilling hybrid retellings of inherited works, and take away practical strategies for exploring ambition (or was it fate) and power in the face of corruption.
This event is perfect for teachers of English, Drama and Literature (Years 10–12).
