This is a sample of the scenes you wrote and presented based on Act I, Scene i of Shakespreare’s Romeo and Juliet. Everyone was successful at maintaining the nuances of the meaning of the original script while adapting it for a contemporary ‘South London’ location. It’s a far cry from Verona, but not so far at all from Shakespeare’s own turf, after all.

In The Crysalids, John Wyndham created a fictional world that expressed the contemporary anxiety about the nuclear threat posed by the Cold War arms race. Told from the point of view of a naive narrator, David, The Crysalids explores the post-apocalyptic landscape of strict religion, civil conflict and extraordinary genetic mutation.

This task supports students to work together to create their own future dystopia, replicating some of the key features of Wyndham’s “The Crysalids”, while updating it to represent a future where our current world has veered off course and the main character is dealing with the consequences.

Before we start reading. Before we know the plot. We’re putting the microscope on the language of shakespeare and what this might reveal. My proposition with this presentation is that Shakespeare has Macbeth use personification in this extract to reveal the extent to which Macbeth is blaming external forces for the choices he is about to make.
