A CAST of 35 youngsters have staged a successful contemporary production of Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Students from the King's School, Worcester, performed the Bard's famous tragedy at the school's John Moore Theatre.

The production, directed by head of drama Simon Atkins, was a modern interpretation which featured echoes of modern war imagery.

Leading the cast were Jack England and Charlotte Ireland as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

Charlotte, aged 17, has since been offered a place at the prestigious Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts school in London.
