NT Connections | Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth

A fire alarm is triggered during a GCSE exam, landing a group of students in an immediate and gruelling detention. As they navigate a series of seemingly endless tasks by way of punishment, tensions rise and the mystery deepens.

Who sabotaged the exam and for what reason? With their futures hanging in the balance, they wonder if they will ever escape the classroom or if this single act of rebellion has cost them their qualifications.

Amidst the pressure, they find themselves questioning the very curriculum they are being tested on, including the enduring and often frustrating popularity of William Shakespeare.

A sharp, relatable production by Kirsty Housley exploring the pressures of the modern education system and the bonds formed under pressure.
