"By the pricking of my thumbs..."
This week, Year 10 students at Westminster City School participated in an excellent Macbeth workshop which was facilitated by the team at Donmar Warehouse. The story of Macbeth was brought to life in an interactive and engaging manner, thus enabling students to explore the various themes and sound design.
Students also had the privilege of seeing the play live at the Donmar Warehouse.
"The Donmar Warehouse is a not-for-profit theatre based in Covent Garden in London. Before becoming a theatre, this historic building was a vat room and hops warehouse for a local brewery in Covent Garden in the 1870s. It’s life in entertainment started in the 1920s when the building was used as a film studio, before reverting back into a warehouse to be a banana ripening depot for nearby Covent Garden market.
"The Donmar became a proper theatre in 1977 when the Royal Shakespeare Company bought the building and renamed it the Warehouse – ready to transfer their production of Schweik in the Second World War, directed by Howard Davies, from the Other Place in Stratford, which opened the theatre on 18 July."
