BUS STOP REview

Ben C, Year 9 writes...

Bus Stop, co-created by Miss Twomey, was a ‘nail biting’ drama about a run-away bus potentially carrying passengers to their peril. The bus had been tampered with by disgruntled workers and the police were kept on their toes trying to deduce what they must do to bring the bus to a halt, as well as track down the perpetrators.

The play was a visually thrilling production, with exceptionally tense scenes, plus brilliant props and settings. The mobile bus seats were particularly clever and mimicked the real-life version perfectly. As well as this, the audio and lighting enhanced the fearful atmosphere, both on the bus and at the police station.

Though the passengers had completely different personalities, it impressed me how realistic their conversations were and how the different characters reacted to one another. The characters of John and Andy (Paul in Year 12 and Christos in Year 11) were impressive, as the boys managed to perfectly execute their unique personalities, whilst also taking the time to think about how their characters would react to other passengers.

To those who were unable to see this performance, you certainly missed a treat!
