Friendly Bombs Summer Workshop
22 September 2025
This summer, several of the people we support took part in a Macbeth-themed drama workshop run by Friendly Bombs Theatre Company. The workshop was a fantastic opportunity for creative expression, confidence-building, and fun.
The performance was full of energy, imagination, and brilliant character work — from witches and kings to castles and cauldrons!
Here’s what some of the participants had to say:
Katherine
“The play was Macbeth, I played Lady Macbeth, and I was holding the baby. I really enjoyed playing the character and wearing the purple gown… At the end, we all danced to the music in the workshop which was an amazing experience… it was 10 out of 10, an amazing day.”
Adham
“I was the king. I wore a gold jewelled crown, a cape and a sash, and I held a big sword… Macbeth rushed in and stabbed me… Near the end we all got up and danced with everyone… it was 10 out of 10, a good day for me.”






Asha
“I was playing one of the evil witches… I stuck my arms out and wiggled my fingers to act like a witch… I enjoyed stirring the pot with the bubbles boiling as the rats sank inside… I had a great time.”
Daisy
“My first part was me playing the witch. I wore a long black witches scarf. I acted out with my arms and made sounds of the evil witch.”
