& Juliet<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Drama department recently ran a theatre excursion to the musical & Juliet, performed at The Lyric Theatre.<\/p>\n

Students relished the reinvention of Shakespeare\u2019s classic tale, told alongside the many pop hits of Swedish composer Max Martin. Juliet, with the assistance of Mrs Shakespeare (Anne Hathaway), forged their own story giving the tale of the star-crossed lovers a distinctly feminist perspective, much to the cheer of all in attendance.<\/p>\n

Nell Gwynn \u2013 Senior school Production<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Bookings are now open for our next production – Jessica Swale\u2019s Nell Gwynn.<\/p>\n

Book your tickets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The senior ensemble will be presenting Nell Gwynn from Wednesday June 12 to Friday June 14 at 7.00pm, and Saturday June 15 at 1.00pm.<\/p>\n

Venue is The St Peter\u2019s Playhouse. Nell Gwynn was first performed at Shakespeare\u2019s Globe, London in 2015.<\/p>\n

The time is the 1600s. Charles II has ascended the throne. Prior to his reign, women were banned from appearing on stage. “The theatre was the domain of ACT-ors not ACT\u2013 oresses!”<\/p>\n

That is until the likes of Moll Davies, Peg Hughes and the eponymous Nell Gwynn arrived on stages;<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a rollicking tale performed by students from Years 10-12. And it looks sumptuous as befitting the period. Don\u2019t be put off by the historical content\u2026 it\u2019s a comedy with a fierce feminist narrative.<\/p>\n
