WATERSHIP DOWN

This year’s Lower School Production is Watership Down. It runs from Wednesday 27 June until Friday 29 June. All performances start at 7pm in the Drama Studio. Set in England's Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, this tale of adventure and survival follows a band of very special creatures on their flight from the intrusion of man and the certain destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of friends, they journey forth from their native Sandleford Warren through the harrowing trials posed by predators and adversaries, to a mysterious promised land and a more perfect society. However, standing in their way is the evil General Woundwort who, along with the Efrafa warren, tries to stop their progress and destroy this bid for freedom. Watership Down delves into the surprisingly violent and competitive world of a rabbit warren. Tickets cost £8 (£5 concessions) and are available to buy either from the Drama Office or online by following this link: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/ tiffinschool
