Macbeth in just one day

From the SURREY MIRROR

Aspiring thespians rehearsed and performed their own "mini Macbeth" in just one school day.

Year 6 pupils at Wray Common School, Kendal Close, Reigate, tookpart in their own version of William Shakespeare's classic play on Friday.

They were ably assisted by Oxted-based Shakespeare 4 Kidz, who helped with the morning rehearsals before the children performed in front of their parents at the end of the day.

Drama co-ordinator Tina Collis, 42, said: "It was an absolutely brilliant day, the children really enmjoyed it."

"It's quite a challenge to learn, rehearse and perform a play in just one school day.

"But the theatre group were fantastic. They got the children singing and dancing, and they managed to turn teh original scrpt into something that is easily understandable for younger people.

"We will definitely be doing this again next year."

What they say about us:

S4K DREAM: "It is late on Sunday Night and I am so excited to teach my class tomorrow as we spent Friday afternoon enjoying the Shakespeare 4 Kidz production of Midsummers Night's Dream. The children and staff all loved it as it really made the play (which we are studying in our literacy lessons) come to life. On the bus back the children had already asked to put on the play and had decided who could play which parts. They loved it all however Puck and Bottom were defintitely their favourites. I couldn't recommend it more highly the children will be talking about it for a long time! really loved it thank-you for making MSND come alive for my class you've made my job so much easier!"
