There was much excitement as the school came together in February for the House Drama on the last afternoon of half term, especially as John Pickard from Hollyoaks travelled all the way from filming in Liverpool to join Mr Rowe on the judging panel!
The four Houses put together a Key Stage 3 and a senior play; each play was improvised and written by the girls themselves. The standard was very high throughout the afternoon with a selection of innovative interpretations and strong performances.
Here are some of the judges’ comments:
‘A very good ensemble piece, a brave choice to make, you could hear every word’
‘Good story structure and excellent characterization’
‘Observant, good use of the language of comedy, vibrant’
‘Topical, believable, beautifully interactive with intelligent scene changes’
‘Good use of costume, you understood your audience’
It was a joy to see just what the girls can achieve when given free rein, well done to all involved!
