On Thursday 10th November, the Year 12 and 13 Drama and Theatre Studies Students visited the Oxford Playhouse Theatre to see Frantic Assembly’s award-winning and electrifying take on Shakespeare’s tragedy, Othello. The performance was highly engaging and brilliantly performed. We were lucky enough to see Scott Graham perform an unbelivable sequence as Cassio in an incredibly physical piece of theatre, in true Frantic style. (Scott Graham is the Artistic Director and co-founder of Frantic Assembly.) This trip was funded by Broadway Arts Festival as part of their outreach programme supporting the Arts in local schools and we cannot thank them enough for arranging this. It was wonderful to be running a live theatre trip again and the students took a lot away from the performance as we study Frantic Assembly as part of the A Level Drama and Theatre Studies course. Broadway Arts Festival have already funded a Frantic Assembly workshop for our students that took place in May last year. We are truly grateful for the support that they have given us to date.
Thanks must also go to Mr Grouch for driving the minibus and to all our students who were a credit to the school.
Mrs M Cook
Head of Drama and Theatre Studies
