After the huge success of Annie and Grease, this year, the school production took a turn for the traditional with William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Twining together three very different, and rather complex storylines, it is Shakespeare's ode to just how ridiculous we can all be when love is the prize.
While some members of the audience may have been apprehensive about getting to grips with the language, they needn't have worried; the cast were funny, charming and witty in their performances and their understanding of the play made it a triumph. From the rigid structure of the Athenian Court to the madness of the forest, every member of this relatively young cast was engaging to watch.

On the nights of 4 to 7 July, weeks of planning and commitment by dozens of students and staff culminated in a remarkable production of Annie; the classic rags-to-riches musical set in 1930s America.
The cast was headed by two "Annies" (Gabriella Gonzalez-Bello and Shona Buwu) taking it in turns to play the central character of the little orphan girl. Strong performances from Ben Hoenes as Oliver Warbucks, Lilia Grossmith (Lily St. Regis) and Grace Offen (Daniel "Rooster" Hannigan) were impressive highlights amongst the energetic choreography and thoroughly entertaining scenes featuring a large and dedicated cast.
