When you next go to the National Gallery, have close look at the animal paintings. If you spot a tiger missing in a Rousseau, or a cheeky parrot on Mona Lisa’s shoulder, 5H can probably explain why….their witty, inventive, musical assembly – ‘The Great Insane Robbery’ – saw the paintings come alive. The monkeys set a Mission: Impossible – ‘to rescue every living creature within these walls on a great escape into London Town’, so we watched a white rabbit, guard dogs, histrionic meercats, emotional mice, an echoing parrot, a sneezing polar bear addicted to mints, secret agent cat and side-kick cat (or was that Kit Kat?) an antelope, gentle giant elephant, a giraffe and a dancing cheetah making a successful bid for freedom. With music ranging from ‘Eye of the Tiger’ to bongo drums, dancing from Indian to Irish jigs, it was a piece of music-theatre worth of Lord Lloyd Webber! Well done to writer and form tutor Miss Holmes and 5H!
