Sky Blue Theatre Co. Avis 

An incredible experience for our students - they LOVED IT! Engaging, exciting and a thoroughly great way to end our school year. Thank you so, so much for your workshops and performances

Excellent, engaging, interactive performance. The actors were brilliant - lovely people who engaged all students throughout.

Sky Blue Theatre provided several great workshops for our learners, going above and beyond to make all students feel part of the experience.

The performance was amazing and the students thoroughly enjoyed it. The actors know how to engage their audience and having the students take part playing roles really helped in maintaining their attention and focus. Having them change their delivery of certain lines towards the end also helped them understand the nuances of stagecraft and the writer's intentions. A brilliant morning - we can't wait to see you all again next year!

The Blue Sky Theatre company really brought the play of Macbeth to life for the children by allocating them parts in the play and acting out the whole story. Then we had a couple of workshops with the company which the children loved. Definitely booking again for next year!

We loved the Sky Blue Theatre Company... The children had an amazing day, as did the staff. John really brought Shakespeare to life for them - they loved joining in, dressing up and playing the characters. So, so brilliant. We'll be booking again!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Liam and Lee for the workshops they delivered today. We were genuinely blown away by their professionalism and the caring, fun approach they brought to the sessions.
Both pupils and staff thoroughly enjoyed the experience. While we weren’t entirely sure what to expect beforehand, the workshops were absolutely perfect. The children were fully engaged and made wonderful memories while experiencing Shakespeare in such an enjoyable and accessible way.
Thank you for providing such a fantastic experience. We would love to book again

The company was engaging and everyone involved enjoyed the activities and the performance. Students are still talking about the event 2 weeks later. Thank you Sky Blue Theatre Company!

The actors really brought Shakespeare's play alive for our pupils, it was inclusive and supported their understanding and learning beautifully

Sky Blue Theatre Co. is just wonderful! The actors are extremely talented and charismatic, which makes the children fall in love with Shakespeare's plays. Their visit is the highlight of the school year!

Thank you Sky Blue Theatre Co.

Amazing company - they have come in to our school for many years and the children love it.

Brilliant workshops. All children and adults loved it.

The company is excellent.
Sorry I clixked on the wrong star last time.

Such an exciting experience that engaged all students from start to finish!

The actors are amazing with the children and used them fantastically to retell Macbeth. It was an immersive experience for all whether acting or watching.
The workshops totally complimented the play themselves and helped the children appreciate the feelings and motives of the main characters.
This undoubtedly has helped our children understand Macbeth in such depth that the writing outcomes we have are truly fantastic!

Our experience with Sky Blue Theatre was fantastic. We hosted two ‘Shakespeare Rewired’ performance workshops across one day for the whole of year 7 on Romeo and Juliet. The actors/facilitators who were with us on the day were professional, enthusiastic and really reactive to the group of students they had in front of them. The students loved getting involved with the performance and we were so proud of their enthusiasm and participation. There was a real buzz around the academy on the day and year 7 were so excited and inspired by this experience. We can’t wait to have Sky Blue Theatre Company back again!

We absolutely love Sky Blue Theatre’s Shakespeare Rewired workshops. We book them year after year and they have never disappointed. Our children and staff love the interactive workshops - they are the highlight of our English calendar!

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Sky Blue Theatre to our school every year, and each time, they bring something fresh, exciting, and completely unforgettable!

Throughout the week, the company works with hundreds of our pupils from diverse backgrounds, nationalities, and mother tongues. They create an inclusive, high-energy environment that is both fun and educational, igniting a genuine love of Shakespeare in our students. Even those who 'claim' to dislike the bard!

Sky Blue’s approach is interactive; students are not just passive spectators, they get up on stage, wearing fantastic costumes, and actively engage with the text. They apply their understanding of the plot by performing scenes, exploring character motivations, and even directing the actors themselves, analysing key scenes and exploring alternative interpretations in a way that develops both confidence and critical thinking.

We’re especially grateful to John, Alex, and Chris, who have returned year after year and built fantastic relationships with our staff and students. Their energy, professionalism, and passion for theatre make a lasting impact on everyone they work with.

This year, the team went above and beyond by designing a brand new workshop: a courtroom drama where Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were put on trial for the murder of King Duncan. Our students became solicitors and lawyers, using evidence from the play to build arguments and interrogate characters. Many of my students even used this experience to inform their English coursework...a perfect example of how Sky Blue Theatre blends creativity with curriculum.

Sky Blue Theatre is far more than a visiting company. They are a highlight of our academic year and an essential part of our students' cultural and educational journey. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

We had an outstanding experience with Sky Blue Theatre as they taught our children Macbeth through an engaging interactive play and two dynamic breakout workshops. The children absolutely loved participating in the acting, and the style and pace of the sessions were perfectly tailored to help them grasp what can be a challenging and complex text. The writing opportunities that arose from the sessions were exceptional, and we’ve already secured bookings for the next academic year.
Communication throughout has been excellent, with John providing invaluable support to help us select the best options for our needs. Considering the rising costs across many companies, the value we receive from these sessions is truly remarkable. We highly recommend Sky Blue Theatre to anyone looking for a meaningful and enriching educational experience.

My school has had the Shakespeare Rewired Macbeth workshop come in for a number of years and it never disappoints! Every group of children that have experienced it have loved it and only have positive things to say. This is also true of any adult who has watched the workshop. The staff who did the workshop engaged the children, were mindful of their needs and made the whole experience fun. I would highly recommend it!
