TEACHERS' REVIEWS

Tahlia Mihell

Yr12 English Teacher at

Cronulla High School

The Merchant of Venice Incursion

November 2024:

"One of the biggest challenges students face is the lack of emotional connection to the text. Come you Spirits allowed student autonomy for directorial choices, creating a better understanding of dramatic form, all while having a sound connection to the syllabus point on human motivations and behaviours."

Justine Zarebski

Assistant Head of English

The Hills Grammar School

Macbeth full production on the rugby pitch with sound, light, and fire:

“I am eternally grateful to Come you Spirits for bringing such a profound and unforgettable experience to our school community.”

Head Teacher

St Joseph's Catholic High School, Aberdeen

Double Incursion Macbeth and The Merchant of Venice:

“In 30 years of teaching at different schools that was by far the best Shakespeare incursion I’ve ever experienced. Completely blown away”.

Jane Jaggers

English Teacher

Heritage Christian School, Port Macquarie

Double Incursion Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth:

"Involved every member of the audience in the action. An inspiring experience.”
