The seven pupils at King Alfred's Community and Sports College are performing their acclaimed version of Macbeth on Thursday, June 26, before taking the play to France as part of the International Youth Theatre festival in Grenoble, Oxford's twin town. The students, who have just finished their A-Levels, are aiming to replace the boredom often associated with Shakespearean plays with "vivid physical acting, dynamic stage pictures and an atmospheric musical score" -- all in a 45-minute performance.
Also playing on the same night is 'The comical tragedy of Johnny Blind' written by Year 10 student Eleanor Greenhalgh.
