House Drama rehearsals are well under way and over 100 girls are taking part. Year 12 directing teams from each House are working with the Year 7, 8 and 9 to produce performances this Thursday at 7pm. Each extract from the following plays will last 20 minutes:

‘A  Midsummer Night’s Dream’ – Clarke

‘Daisy Pulls It off’ – Holst

‘The Golden Goose’ - Desenfans

‘Beauty and the Beast’ – Bettany

It is fantastic to see so many younger girls responding so positively to Year 12 direction.  It has certainly given the sixth form drama students a real insight into what it takes to be a successful director. It also allows the younger girls to form strong bonds with girls who are in their house but not necessarily in their form group. Technical rehearsals take place early this week and excitement is mounting ………

The competition will be judged by Vivienne Penglase who teaches Drama and Theatre Studies at Alleyn’s.
