Head's Newsletter 23 March 2018

GCSE Dance evening took place on Thursday 22 nd March in the Drama Studio. It involved set phrases, group performances and choreographies from Year 10 and 11 dancers and some year 9’s. Well done to all who participated.

In February this year’s main school production – The Madness of George III—was staged in the Drama studio, which was arranged in an end-on style with an impressive staircase and balcony in the centre of the stage. Audience members have praised the high standard of acting shown by the cast, which included boys from Year 7 to Year 13 as well as girls from Tiffin Girls School. In particular, Ben Willows excelled in the role of King George, gradually becoming more and more delusional to the point of insanity. Despite there being a slightly different cast each night, all four shows were flawlessly performed with moments of intense drama and hilarious comedy throughout. Thanks to the efforts of Ms Harris for her sewing skills, all the actors were beautifully dressed in regal robes, waistcoats, corsets and more, with professional props and costumes also hired from the National Theatre. The great success of this play reflects the hard work of Ms O’Connell since auditions began in October and the many hours invested in this play by her and all members of the cast.
