Bring Macbeth to life in this practical and interactive workshop, designed for 12-16 year olds.

Explore Shakespeare through a practical approach with a range of activities and games designed to draw out elements of the play’s language, characters and themes.

Drawing on our unique performance spaces, this is a perfect practical head start or accompaniment to your GCSE English Literature studies, underpinned by understanding the play’s relationship to the unique performance conditions of the Globe. No previous experience is required, just a desire to jump in and enjoy exploring one of his most famous tales.

Workshops will be led by one of the Globe’s highly experienced educational practitioners, including actors, teachers and directors.

About the play
From its fascinating first moments to the final fulfilment of the witches’ prophecy, Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s darkest and most powerful tragedies – a gripping account of one man’s determination to secure his ambition and destiny, the crown of Scotland, by whatever means necessary…

Tickets must be purchased by over 18s, but this workshop is designed for young people aged 12–16 attending independently. Parents and guardians must be present for drop-off and pick up of their young person and can enjoy the Globe’s food and drinks on offer during the workshop.

If you are studying GCSE or A level English Literature, you may be interested in attending one of our Boosts. These sessions are designed specifically to develop key skills and create a practical toolkit that you can carry forward into your study and exams.
