A fun and engaging way to build confidence and develop acting skills, Drama is a much-loved activity amongst pupils, staff and those proud family and friends who come along witness our performances.
Pupils can get involved from as early as Junior School, with a lunchtime club that’s aimed at helping them find their feet and develop their voice in a group scenario. Similarly, Senior School Drama Club lets its members discover the sheer enjoyment of performance, whilst helping teach them how to express themselves verbally and physically. All this goes a long way when it comes to the audition process for various school productions.
The Senior School Play is one such occasion. Taking place at the end of November, this major performance is a showcase of talent from Forms IV –VI. Recent productions have included The Visit by Friedrich Durrenmatt, Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off by Liz Lochhead and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
You can see a behind the scenes video of our Senior School production of ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ here.
Such productions have room for the creative and technically gifted too, with behind the scenes roles in lighting, sound, costume, stage management, front of house, make-up and props.
