The tragic tale was brought to life by young actors who imagined the fatal lovers in a modern time; sword fights turned to knife attacks, strong independent men swapped for strong independent women, but ultimately the same tragic ending. Students were able to use this opportunity to revise for their English literature GCSE by seeing a text come to life which they have studied for the past three years, while also enjoying an evening away from books. It was also great to see some local talent on the stage, with students from a local school on stage acting in the performance.![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/149a.jpg) [ Year 10 Parents Evening on Thursday 17th January 2019 from 4pm](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2019-01-11-year-10-parents-evening-on-thursday-17th-january-2019-from-4pm) [Thames Ward Residents Growth Summit – 31st January 2019 ](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2019-01-23-thames-ward-residents-growth-summit-31st-january-2019) ![Riverside Secondary School](https://files.schudio.com/riverside-secondary-school/images/logo/Logo_Footer.png) ### Riverside Secondary School Renwick Road Barking IG11 0FU 0203 946 5888 ### Social Media - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/riverside_campus/) [![Partnership Learning](https://files.schudio.com/riverside-secondary-school/images/logo/AAAPartnership-Learning_white.png)](https://partnershiplearning.com) © Copyright 2026 Riverside Secondary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://riverside-secondary.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
