Shakespeare in Love

A huge congratulations to the exceptionally talented cast of this year’s Senior Production of Shakespeare in Love. They delivered three successful sold-out performances of the charming of the Elizabethan theatre in London 1593. It begins with a young William Shakespeare pondering over what he should compare “thee” to… by wealth and class and the constant possibility of personal and financial disaster. Perhaps not such a far-away world after all!

A very proud Mr Tyler commented, “Taking a film script, which is heavily reliant on visual effect, and translating the same excitement and dramatic action to a stage is a daunting task, but thanks to the wit of the original script, a wonderful set, stunning costumes and a talented and hardworking cast of actors - it was a really great evening of theatre! Love, laughs, sword fights and a comedy dog - what’s not to like?! We were completely sold out each night and the audiences revelled in the fun and energy of this captivating production of Shakespeare in Love. A palpable hit!”

We are now looking forward to the Lower School Production of Macbeth next term. From Wednesday 24th May to Friday 26th May, Years 7-10 will take to the stage in Splendid Theatre Company’s engaging and entertaining one hour reworking of Shakespeare’s classic play. Plenty to look forward to!
