With AS exams over, much to the relief of our Lower 6th students, and A2 exams looming, we reflect on the practical drama exams taken earlier in the term.
The Upper 6th, Simeon Blake-Hall and Sachin Sharma, were required to devise their own piece and chose Oscar Wilde's 'The Picture of Dorian Gray', which you may recognise as the previous post describes how Bablake Theatre are taking this to the Edinburgh this summer, although a considerably longer adaptation as 15 minutes might have been a bit short for the Fringe!
The Lower 6th divided into two groups; Lara Morley-White, Rory Dulku, Megan Evans and Rachel Hepworth, who performed extracts from Shared Experience's 'Brontë', and Thomas Grantham and James Laurenson who selected 'The Hothouse' by Harold Pinter.
All groups performed excellently under the pressure of the examiner and a small audience and we would like to share with you a selection of photos capturing some of the highlights of all 3 performances.
