The audiences on both Tuesday and Thursday of this week were treated to a varied and absolutely superb display of dramatic skill; all unique and excellent in different ways. The fact that there were real comedies this year also made a real difference, as this is such a hard genre to make work, but they were hugely successful with the audience laughing in all the intended places! Massive tribute should go to the drama captains in each of the houses who put their own twist on the stimulus material and produced great pieces of theatre.

The cast and crew for each house also worked tirelessly to bring this all to fruition and I understand that they all had a punishing rehearsal schedule which only goes to prove how much commitment there is to both the Houses and the arts in this school. I was hugely proud and would like to thank Miss Tottman and Mrs Affleck-Cruise for their steering hand and to the numerous other staff who helped in whatever way to bring this all to fruition. Finally, of course, huge congratulations to the winning house on the night – Darwin House.
