Romeo & Juliet Workshop

On Wednesday 7th October, 36 Bannockburn High senior pupils travelled to Cumbernauld Theatre to participate in a Shakespeare workshop. This fun and informative event was aimed at increasing the overall understanding of Shakespeare’s play, his language, stage directions as well as to help us complete essays and our Higher English exam. The event was a great success.

Did you know that Shakespeare’s plays were performed in daylight regardless of the weather? Therefore his characters had to make reference to what time of day it was so their audience could imagine the scene:

“Thou knowest the mask of night is on my face,
Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek…” (Act 2:2)
