Leaving Cert Students Experience Shakespeare

Students from Millstreet Community School recently attended a live performance of Macbeth at the Cork Opera House, an experience that brought Shakespeare’s tragedy vividly to life. The trip supported Leaving Certificate English studies, giving students the chance to see the play they had studied performed on stage, deepening their understanding of its themes, characters, and dramatic power. Beyond its educational value, the outing helped foster an appreciation for theatre and the performing arts, areas in which the school has long taken an active interest through its involvement in drama and music. The trip also offered students a welcome break from their daily routine, allowing them to enjoy a cultural day out together while connecting classroom learning to real-world performance. It was an inspiring and enjoyable experience that strengthened both students’ academic engagement and their enthusiasm for live drama.
