This was the 28th consecutive year that the Troupe had presented a Shakespeare production - and the second time we have presented Macbeth (previously 2008).  This year's production was Bard in the Yard and the weather gods were favourable with only one night having to move into the school hall. Allan Burne, who played Macbeth, won an Antoinette Award for Excellence in Acting at the annual Wellington District Theatre Federation Full Length Play Competition. The play was presented in a crime family setting. The three witches were described as Three Women and were present on stage during the whole production playing multiple roles. Cast Woman
