Play the Game

Imagine Drama is a big part of Medbury, and a big part of Drama is using your imagination. Theatre uses movement, colour, sound and words to create something entertaining and thought provoking. The 2020 theme for the whole school is Imagine. Each of the four Year 8 classes presented a one act play and each play had a central character who has a vivid imagination. The four plays were connected by a group of clowns wearing vivid colours signifying different emotions: Joy, Anxiety, Anger, Sadness and Disgust. They were challenged by the clown called Imagination. The clowns connected the four plays and signified different emotions.
