ART & DRAMA

Year 9 students’ art work com- memorating Remembrance Day; it consists of portraits of British and Commonwealth veterans from WW1.

The sixth form production, Accidental Death of an Anarchist , featured a cast of 11 boys and 3 girls. This impressive cast managed to juggle a very hectic 5 week rehearsal schedule alongside their academic studies to perform successfully to crowded audiences. This farcical play, written by Dario Fo, was very demanding on the actors, including masses of lines, countless props, multi-rolling of characters and fast paced action. I was one of the two who had been cast as the ‘ Maniac’, the main character, and am incredibly grateful to my supporting cast who covered up my mistakes, the technical team behind the lights, sound, and set, and of course Miss O'Connell and Miss Hughes.
