On Tuesday 15th September a coach full of Key Stage 3 students went to The Playhouse Theatre to watch a performance of 'Edward the Learned Pig' by the Krazy Kat Theatre Company, which is a short and curly tale of itinerant circus folk and a Pig who taught himself to read and is based upon an unpublished poem by Edward Gorey. We witnessed a crazy performance of circus life, a sign language spectacular and a breath stopping silk trapeze artist. Students were thoroughly mesmerised!
