Bell Shakespeare Visit

Last week a group of performers visited our school to perform the play titled “Shakespeare is Dead’ and asks the question whether or not Shakespeare is still relevant today. Tony Pasin joined students to watch this exciting performance. Suzie Mitchell Teacher

We had to watch a Shakespeare performance by Alex Mary and Will. They made it really funny to watch. Alex was my favourite actor. They chose students to help with the act. My favourite part was when Ms Mitchell died from the poison wine. Shakespeare died at fifty to sixty. Thanks to Alex, Mary and Will. By Ellison Dunn

This play was about William Shakespeare and his life and the plays he wrote. There were no toilets or electricity when he was alive. The only way people found out about the plays was when a flag got raised in to the air. A red one meant love or romance, a black one was tragedies, and a white one was comedy. I loved watching the performance. It was very funny and interesting to watch. By Grace Jacob

Will, Mary and Alex came to Allendale to show us a play about Bell Shakespeare. The play was about how to die in Shakespeare, love, fight, live and come back to life. By Loretah Stanley

The Bell Shakespeare Theatre Company performed famous plays like Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, A Mid Summers Night Dream and Hamlet. We learned about Shakespeare’s life. I think I would prefer to live in the 21st century than the 17th or 18th. By Madison Gavin
