Middle School Play: Just Macbeth!
The opening night of the Middle School Play on Thursday 20 June, ‘Just Macbeth!’ was an undeniable success, leaving the audience spellbound and brimming with applause. Our student cast delivered their lines with confidence and passion, embodying Shakespearean characters with remarkable maturity. From the serious moments of Shakespeare’s tragic narrative to the comedic antics of the witches, every scene was filled with energy and enthusiasm. The eye-catching set design and lighting added depth to the performance, transporting the audience into the world of medieval Scotland. We congratulate all our incredible cast, crew, and Director Aimee Fraser, who brought this timeless tale to life with such brilliance.
Senior School Musical: Legally Blonde – The Musical
The Senior School’s production of ‘Legally Blonde – The Musical’, which opened on 18 April, was an electrifying spectacle, filled with energy and enthusiasm. As the curtains rose, the stage transformed into a vibrant display of colours, reflecting the effervescent ‘pink’ spirit of Elle Woods and her journey from a sorority girl to a formidable law student. The audience was immediately drawn into Elle’s world, captivated by the infectious melodies, dynamic choreography, and outstanding performances. We congratulate all our incredible performers and musicians and Production Director Vanessa Meehan on the musical’s smashing success!
Senior School Play: Romeo and Juliet
Earlier this year in March, our Senior School students unleashed a riveting take on William Shakespeare’s immortal classic, ‘Romeo and Juliet!’ The raw power of this iconic love saga, infused with a modern edge, held the audience captivated. Amidst the urban chaos of Verona’s graffiti-strewn streets, our adaptation injected a surge of adrenaline into the age-old feud between the Capulets and Montagues, reigniting ancient vendettas and sparking fresh chaos. Against this backdrop of simmering conflict, two star-crossed souls collided in a blaze of passion. This high-octane production featured pulse-pounding fight sequences and a decadent Capulet Ball of epic proportions. It was an unforgettable theatrical experience that left the audience on the edge of their seats. Well done to all of our remarkable performers and to the Director Nathan Armstrong, and Co-Director (Raff Netley OC2022).
