2018 marks the sixth year of the Gaiety School of Acting’s Shakespeare Schools Programme. This Autumn we return with Macbeth, offering more Leaving Certificate students nationwide the opportunity to experience their Shakespeare text as it was meant to be experienced – live on stage. Professionally directed and performed, our productions promise to engage, excite and incite in students a new and invigorated interest in their studied text.

• a student workbook
• pre-show video
