Year 9 Drama Trip: Stranger Things on Stage

On Tuesday 11th June, a group of Year 9 students were lucky enough to go and see "Stranger Things: The First Shadow" at the Phoenix Theatre. The students were impeccably behaved and received compliments on their behaviour from members of the general public. 

The performance was a fantastic one to see just before starting their GCSE course, as it was a perfect example of theatrical ingenuity and ambition, with students talking not merely about the acting, but all the technical and practical aspects of the production. The performance was so well put together that even Mr Randall and Miss Pennell were stumped by some of the theatrical illusions and were unable to answer students' questions! 

The students were all buzzing after the performance, with all of them giving the show rave reviews. Nancy said "The stage production was incredible, it was so well thought out, the lighting was incredible and really added to the intensity of it." 

Meanwhile, Jess said "It was intense! It was really fun. I can't wait for GCSE Drama!". This was supported by Nicole who stated: "It was an absolutely amazing experience. The actors were amazing but we could also pick out the techniques they were using and it was so good to see what we've been learning about on stage." 

Thank you to the Drama Department for running another successful trip to the theatre.
