The Female Of The Species: play-reading
An enthusiastic audience responded with great laughter and engagement to the presentation of Joanna Murray-Smith’s The Female Of The Species, last Friday in St Peter’s Playhouse.
A cast of some of Australia’s finest actors brought this bitingly funny farce to vivid life. We were also fortunate to have acclaimed Director Gale Edwards shaping the work through the day.
An insightful Q&A followed the performance chaired by Theatre Reviewer, Diana Simmonds.
Thank you to the company of Zoe Terakes, Geraldine Turner, Gale Edwards, Romy Bartz, Elijah Williams, Mark Humphries and Andrew McFarlane.
And a big thankyou to the staff and SCEGGS community who came along to the evening.
Year 9 Greek Theatre Performance
Our Year 9 Drama students recently completed a Greek Theatre task in which they adapted a parable for performance. The girls presented their work in spaces around the school and were required to deal with the elements of outdoor performance. On the day, this consisted of rain, cold and a helicopter flying above. All delightful challenges that tested the outstanding work.
