OFFICE blocks and corporate finance take the place of bleak castles and forests in Pershore High School's radical new interpretation of Macbeth.

The play is brought into the present day and takes place in the City of London, interpreting Shakespeare's classic text as an attack on big business with several characters, including the fated Banquo, cast as women.

Battles on the trading floor and anti-capitalist protests take the place of Shakespeare's medieval battles, but the production stays true to the original script.

The play runs from March 8-10, starting at 7.30pm and tickets, costing £5 (£4 concessions) are available through the school.
