Dazzling Drama

This week saw girls in Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5 perform their Summer Term Drama productions. 

Year 3 were first with their performance of “The Ugly Ducking”. Following the theme of the traditional tale by Hans Christian Andersen, the play followed the story of the duckling as she learned how to get along in the real world. With a little help from her friends the duckling realises that there is a place for everyone and that everyone can be beautiful.

Year 4 gave a powerful performance of “The Selfish Giant”, based on Oscar Wilde’s classic story about a grumpy giant who forbids children from playing in his garden. After the children are locked out, the trees and flowers refuse to grow and the garden plunges into an eternal winter. Then one morning, the children sneak back into the garden, bringing spring with them, as the giant realises he needs to be generous and share things with others.

Year 5 presented Shakespeare with style in their energetic performance of “Shakespeare Rocks”. The play begins with the character of Aubrey, The Rough Shakespeare Company's pretentious director, who obtains what appears to be William Shakespeare's lost diary. Along with his assistant Al, the pair present an amusing retelling of the life and times of William Shakespeare.

Head of Prep Drama, Ms Halton said, “I am very proud of all the girls and the effort they have put into this term’s productions. They have certainly used the performing arts skills they have developed over the course of the academic year to great effect. The opportunity for the girls to perform the pieces to their parents has been a fantastic way to round off their year’s work in Drama.”
