ELMFIELD School in Stourbridge will be hosting a performance of Shakespeare’s Macbeth which is being staged by visiting German students this weekend.

The year 11 youngsters from the Schloss Hamborn Rudolf Steiner school near Paderborn, central Germany, will be bringing the Scottish play to life at the Rudolph Steiner school in Love Lane at 7.30pm on Friday September 26 and Saturday September 27.

A spokesman for the school said: “Their year 11 students and ours have been visiting each others' schools since 1991 and since 2007 they have performed a Shakespeare play each year. Last year it was Romeo and Juliet.

“Our students learn about farming when they go to Germany by working on the school's farm.”

The production of Macbeth , which is suitable for children aged 13 and above, will include an interval and will finish by 9.30pm.
