From the cast of "Bugsy Malone", 30 children who had showed huge
commitment, maturity of attitude and keenness to continue their acting
were selected to attend a Theatre Workshop. They spent 5 months working
on Shakespeare's "Macbeth", performed as an actors and audience
introduction to Shakespeare. The format was selected classic scenes
which were then linked with modern narration. The second half of the
programme was a play entitled "Just Kidding", a comedy written and
performed by the group. There were four performances at the end of July
with an overall 70% attendance by the public.
