ENGLISH literature students took the limelight to prepare for their exams.

Year nine pupils at Hurworth School acted out scenes from Shakespeare's Macbeth in the run-up to their Sat exams.

The production, organised by the school and performed at Eastbourne and Hummersknott schools, was run by Oddsocks Theatre Company.

Pupils directed and acted scenes from the play, including the murder of Duncan and the approach of the English army.
