Magnificent Mulan

The first half of the Summer Term came to a close in impressive fashion at Pipers with a magnificent performance of “Mulan” from our Year 7 Drama Club.

The production tells the story of Mulan and her adventures following the Hun invasion of China. Along with her mischievous dragon sidekick, Mushu, it is Mulan’s task to save the Emperor! Defying the village matchmaker, Mulan takes up arms and disguises herself as a boy in order to spare her father from having to serve in the army. As the great battle with the Huns approaches, Mulan must choose between revealing her true identity as a girl or saving all of China with her clever plan.

The Drama Club members showed an impressive level of energy as they brought the action-packed show to life on the Arts Centre Theatre stage. With some catchy songs, and ample opportunity for the girls’ comic timing to shine through, it was hugely enjoyable to watch.

Drama teacher and Production Director, Miss Edwards said, “When I started directing this production earlier in the year, I had no idea just quite how dedicated and professional the cast would be. Every production at Pipers take a considerable amount of preparation and hard work, and “Mulan” has been no exception to this. However, the process has been extremely enjoyable for everyone involved and I cannot thank the girls enough for bringing the show to life in such a vibrant way.”
