DRAMA PRODUCTION

DRAMA TRIPS

Drama has had a great term for trips. The Year 13s had the great fortune to watch the highly anticipated Young Vic production of Hamlet starring Cush Jumbo, which was a fascinating look at gender identity in the role of Hamlet. Our Year 12 and 13s then went to watch 'Camp Siegfried' at the Old Vic, an eye - opening play that explores love and indoctrination in a Nazi Summer Camp in Upstate New York during the summer of 1938. Our final trip of the term was to watch the RSC production of William Shakespeare's 'Comedy of Errors', at the Barbican with our year 11 students. The play transported to the Middle East in the 1980s was a great success and the students loved it. A particular thank you goes out to Zachary Clayton whose knowledge of the Barbican and its architecture enabled us to make it to the right entrance. It was so nice to be back watching plays live again, and I am sure our dramatists would agree!!

We are excited to announce that the next school production is Guys and Dolls the musical . February 7 - 10th in the Main Hall. Tickets for Guys and Dolls are on sale now .
