Students from De Aston's Shakespeare Society took to the stage to present the school's first ever production of Romeo and Juliet.

The Society was established last November by a group of students who enjoyed studying and immersing themselves in the Bard’s timeless work. Students from Years 7-12 took part in the performance, some confident performers and others who stepped onto the stage for the very first time, and next year they will be tackling Macbeth.
