As part of a year of celebrations of Queenswood’s 125th anniversary, the Upper School staged a truly spectacular showcase of drama, dance, music, magic and comedy over three nights in December.
The Clarissa Farr Theatre was transformed into a magical cabaret venue for the three sell-out performances, with lashings of purple glitter, confetti bombs and festoons of fairy lights.

With 24 numbers, ranging from an aerial hoops performance of ‘All That Jazz’ to a disco-fuelled A Midsummer Nights Dream, via K-Pop, Monty Python and Joan Littlewood, it’s fair to say there was something for everyone.
Almost 100 girls were involved in the show, either onstage, behind the scenes or in the orchestra pit. We’d like to congratulate everyone who played their part in this barnstorming extravaganza. Look out for the Lower School Cabaret in the summer term!
