Auckland Theatre Company's education pack for Macbeth by William Shakespeare, directed by Benjamin Kilby-Henson at ASB Waterfront Theatre, 28 July to 22 August 2026.
Built for kaiako and ākonga, this resource takes you inside a bold new staging that drags Shakespeare's shortest tragedy underground into a timeless, war-torn world. Alongside essays on the play and its Jacobean context, you will find rehearsal room diaries, design and directorial insights from the creative team, and interviews with the cast on their craft and the wairua of Macbeth.
The classroom activities link directly to NCEA Drama at Levels 1, 2 and 3, giving rangatahi practical ways to unpack the production and gather the ideas, quotes and moments they will draw on for their portfolio or exam.
