Macbeth Review 2023
Theatre Royal’s 2023 Shakespeare Review featured Jamie Beamish (Bridgerton; Derry Girls) in the title role and director’s chair for Macbeth.
This invaluable revision resource ahead of the Leaving Certificate selected key scenes from Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, to help students decide how they understand and respond to the central characters. During the 90-minute, interactive performance, students were offered the opportunity to ask questions of the play’s central characters, to better understand what they say and why they say it, what they do and why they do it.
The cast also included well-known Waterford actors Michael Quinlan, Anne O’Riordan, Andrew Holden and Jenny Fennessy, and the production was facilitated by retired English teacher Edward Denniston.
