Shakespeare Carnival

It was an absolute thrill to watch eager Cranbrookians perform at the Sport for Jove Shakespeare Carnival. We arrived at Burwood Girls High School with Ms Redwin and Ms Thomas where we were greeted by schools from all around Sydney. Over the night, we would watch entries from every area of the competition, Dance, Duologue, Ensemble, Physical Theatre, Group Devised, Music, and Smartphone Short Film – all of which were fierce contest for that number one spot in their category. Amongst Cranbrook, we had entered into the Duologue, Ensemble, Group Devised, and Music categories. Both the ensemble group and the duologue pair were awarded runner up prize, and amazingly, our Group Devised entrants won in the Regional heat with their refreshing  take on what the kings of Shakespeare really thought about the works written about them. They will be making it through to the State Finals, where they will go up against the best performances from around New South Wales.
