Three Inch Fools Performance of Romeo and Juliet CJC
Year 8 students watched the London-based theatre troupe, Three Inch Fools, deliver a terrific performance of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet last term. Students studied this text in the first half of the Michaelmas Term and the Three Inch Fools performance contextualised pupils’ prior learning. The students enjoyed a professional programme from a national touring theatre company that has just three performers and one musician. The company put on a brilliant adaptation of the literary classic, leaving many of the pupils enthralled.
Michelle Teibo said: ‘My favourite part was the opening scene of the play: the ingenuity of using instruments as weapons onstage.’ Max Leek’s favourite parts were ‘the songs and music because I felt completely engulfed and absorbed in the world they created.’ And the performance gave Tristan Brink ‘a better understanding of Shakespeare’s writing’. ⬤
