ST EDWARD’S CHRONICLE
Will Webb
Where were you beforeTeddies?
At the Dragon.
What House are you in and what
are you studying?
I’m in Kendall and I’m taking A Levels in
Biology, Chemistry and Geography.
What extra-curricular activities
are you involved in?
I’m head of the Army section in the
CCF and a member of the climbing
club. I also co-run our pupil film
society, Teddies on Camera (TOC),
and work in The North Wall and the
Hall on school plays, Saturday night
activities and other events.
Which school production have
you enjoyed most in your time
atTeddies?
Fame!
This was one of the first large
productions I organised lighting for.
The play was great fun to be part of
because all of the cast and crew were
constantly happy. The group dances and
solo singers were seriously impressive
and help from outside school made the
production very professional.
What is the benefit of having
The NorthWall on site?
I am able to work alongside
professionals in the theatre industry
so I learn much more than I otherwise
would. The staff there try to get us
involved as much as possible
Which drama teacher has had
the biggest influence on you?
Clive Stevenson. He’s not really
a Drama teacher, but Clive is the
technical manager of The North Wall.
He is my main source of knowledge as
well as being fun to work with.
What is your dream venue to
work in?
I’ve always wanted to go to the
Edinburgh Festival Fringe in the
summer. It would be so busy and I
would enjoy the challenge of having to
set up in a new theatre in a very short
space of time. A large event in the O2
with a massive budget would also be
great fun! With more money you can
hire better equipment which can give
you a better end result.
Best thing aboutTeddies?
The wide range of opportunities that
School offers and therefore you are able
to balance work and extra-curricular
activities.
Best thing about being at school
in Oxford?
We are not isolated from the ‘real’
world; some schools are in the middle
of nowhere and the pupils can be
unaware of what’s going on around
them.
What do you want to do after
School?
I have arranged to work in a secondary
school in rural Nepal for a year before
seeking a commission from the Army
and hopefully joining The Rifles.
