Theatre Trip to RSC – Stratford-upon-Avon

On 29^th February, Year 10 – 13 Drama students went to the RSC, Stratford to see ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. Actor Matthew Baynton played Bottom and many of our students were excited to see him due to his rise to fame in ‘Horrible Histories’ and more recently ‘Ghosts’ on the BBC. Highlights of the evening were Lysander, Hermia and Helena as well as a super performance by Helen Monk as Rita Quince, in charge of the Mechanical who are invited to perform ‘Pyramus and Thisbe’ at the Duke’s wedding. Baynton really excelled in this with his excellent comic timing and our students gave an appreciative standing ovation at the end. Another lovely evening where our students behaved impeccably. What a pleasure to take them all!
