Eighteen eager Y7-9s set out on a mission to perform an adaptation of the fairy-tale, 'Beauty & the Beast' as Bettany's entry for the House Drama Competition, with the amazing help of the 4 directors, Anna Hogarth, India Marlow-Prince, Laura Moon and Sophia Pardon.  The night of the performance got closer and closer and everyone's patience was tested (especially the directors')!  Watching run-throughs of other Houses pieces: Clarke's version of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', Desenfans' 'The Golden Goose', and Holst's 'Daisy Pulls it Off', made us realise we had to get down to some work. Despite a dramatic last minute cast change due to illness, our piece went so well that in the end we won the cup for Best Play!  Other prizes went to: Desenfans Best Design, Holst Best Ensemble, Clarke Best Characterisation and Anne-Laure Villa 9M was awarded Best Actor!
