YEAR 9 ROMEO & JULIET INCURSION
From page to Stage: Romeo and Juliet Incursion
On Monday 8th September, Year 9 students were treated to a dynamic and engaging performance of Romeo and Juliet presented by Shakespeare Australia. The incursion brought Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy to life, combining professional acting with interactive elements that made the play both accessible and memorable.
Students were captivated by the energy and passion of the performers, who highlighted the humour, conflict and heartbreak at the heart of the play. The performance focused on significant scenes from the play and presented these in an accessible and engaging way for students. The production also encouraged students to think critically about Shakespeare’s themes of love, fate and family loyalty, and how these ideas still resonate today.
This incursion provided an invaluable opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of Romeo and Juliet in a lively, immersive way that enriched their classroom learning. This performance will be beneficial for students as they prepare for their English exam next term.
