Production Time

SCEGGS Drama delivers not one, but two exciting offers of theatrical fare in Term 2. In Week 4 of the term, Melanie Tait’s The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race will be presented in our Black Box theatre. This will make for a very intimate theatrical experience but one that is sure to delight with its tale of equality and friendship.

This comedy with tons of heart and feminist triumph has been made into a film and will appear on Netflix later in the year.
