Our summer school is back for 2025!

The Octagon Theatre are looking for young people aged 11-17 to spend two weeks exploring and rehearsing a 00s-style reimagining of Macbeth to share with family and friends.

With the Octagon’s Creative Engagement team, you’ll work together as actors and creatives to tell the classic story of Macbeth with a modern twist. Over the course of the two weeks, you will develop acting and performance skills in a fun and inclusive environment.

Jump back to the 00s, to a time of Britney, Big Brother and Bootcut jeans. Get ready to be a part of this classic story of power and ambition like you’ve never seen it before!

Dates: Mon 21 – Fri 25 July & Mon 28 July – Fri 1 August 2025

Times: 10am - 3pm

*With the exception of Friday 1 which will run from 1pm to 7pm. Participants will all perform together on stage for friends and family.

Summer School 2025 has now sold out! Please email participation@octagonbolton.co.uk to join the waiting list so that we can contact you if a place becomes available.
