On Friday 10 October, the English Department welcomed professional actors from LAMDA to Alperton for a live performance of Romeo and Juliet. The experience offered Year 9 students a vivid introduction to Shakespeare’s work, enriching their understanding of his language, characters, and themes.
Later this year, students will be studying ‘Shakespeare in Performance’, and seeing the play brought to life on stage provided valuable insight into how Shakespeare’s words were always meant to be experienced – through performance, emotion, and energy.
