Year 12 Drama students performed their devised docu-drama about the ‘Wagatha Christie’ phenomenon in the Clarissa Farr Theatre on Monday 20 May.

By turns hilarious and thought-provoking, the drama explored the ludicrous details of the case, and took a sombre look at some of the more serious stories that were crowded out of the news agenda by the exploits of Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy.

The piece was devised and performed by Lily G, Zoe N, Gracie R and Addy T, with set and multimedia design by Isabella W. The students were heavily influenced by the theatrical practices of Bertolt Brecht. With pastiches of West Side Story and true crime podcasts, and a soundtrack of Taylor Swift, The Beatles, The Clash and The Flying Lizards, this was an irreverent and highly entertaining piece of theatre.
