The Drama department and Chickenshed Theatre Company have teamed up this term to explore a range of issues through Drama. The whole of Year 8 were treated to a performance of ‘Crime of the Century’ by young actors from Chickenshed Theatre Company in February.
Since then 8H and 8G have been lucky enough to work with the actors from Chickenshed to produce their own version of ‘Crime of the Century’, a physical piece of Drama highlighting the issues that many of our young people face today.
The students who have been working with the actors have had the opportunity to see first-hand what it is like to create a professional theatre production as well as gain an understanding of the hard work and commitment that goes into creating a piece of theatre.
Our young people will be presenting a community based performance of their work in the Theatre on Wednesday March 27th to an invited audience.
