What do you remember from your childhood? Would you disclose your most personal memories of growing up? Come into the unique space created by master-storyteller, Sita Ramamurthy, as she brings us down memory lane, painting a retrospective of her childhood. Fresh from London and the Haymarket Theatre, Leicester, Memories Of An Indian Childhood is an evocative story infused with traditional tales and music, neighbourhood friends and childhood bullies, long bouts of Risk and Monopoly, stubborn hairdos and floral-printed flared jeans.

Macbeth, a talented general under King Duncan in medieval Scotland and married with Lady Macbeth, is a bright and ambitious man, who is already honoured with the title Thane of Glamis.

He meets three witches who forcaste his destiny. Not only will he become Thane of Cawdor, he will also be King. When his desire and ambitious are manipulated by his wife, they set up a plan to kill King Duncan and fulfil his destiny in a murderous way.

But, being King, he is haunted by his deeds. He loses control over his mind and life and in the end he loses everything; his wife, his kingdom, his life, his honor.

What is your notion of beauty and what would you do to look beautiful? This play explores the social preoccupation with being thin and beautiful, and the potentially deadly lengths to which teens will go in order to look socially acceptable. Presented in an innovative and interesting manner, this play highlights issues of identity and positive self-esteem.

Macbeth is the chronicle of one man's moral collapse and dishonour, brought about by his obsession to fulfil what he believes to be his destiny.

The Necessary Stage will be adapting this potent brew of magic, murder and madness into a Drama-In-Education format. Selected scenes will be dramatised, and students will have the opportunity to interact with the characters themselves after each performance questioning them on their actions and motivations. Macbeth is an excellent introduction to the playwright and his classic, and a must for those studying Shakespeare.
