FROM THE DRAMA DEPT
DIXIT 12th November 2021
On Tuesday 2nd & 9th November, we were lucky to be invited to participate in two Drama workshops at Eton College with the supremely talented Sir Ian McKellen, along with students from Eton. The students learnt a selection of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets and in a relaxed workshop environment, Sir Ian gave the students constructive feedback on their performance. Together, they understood the form and structure of the sonnet and had fun exploring the different meanings behind the words. Sadly, Sir Ian was unwell for the second workshop, so Mr Handy, Head of Film at Eton stepped in. It was an amazing experience and I’m so proud of the students. They represented the school wonderfully and acted with truth and honesty. I’m sure this is something we will all treasure for a long time.
