Our largest ever cohort of GCSE Drama students staged a brilliantly entertaining showcase of their talents across two evenings on Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 February.

Gosforth’s Fête, a hilarious farce by Alan Ayckbourn, was paired with a macabre adaptation of Henry James’ timeless ghost story, The Turn of the Screw.

Meanwhile, three groups of students performed each of the three acts of Blithe Spirit, Noël Coward’s classic comedy set at a 1930s séance, and a fourth group presented extracts from Daisy Pulls It Off, Denise Deegan’s joyful pastiche of girls’ schools adventure stories.

In addition to the 27 students who performed, others were responsible for the set and costume design for Blithe Spirit, the lighting and sound design for Daisy and the lighting for The Turn of the Screw.

Many congratulations to everyone involved in these tremendous performances. A video link is available on request; please email [email protected], specifying which play(s) you would like to view.
