It has been a week full of theatre at SSV as Y11,12 and 13 Drama students performed their showcases to family and friends.
On Thursday the Y13's presented an excerpt from Playhouse Creatures by April de Angelis, which required all four actresses to take on strong feisty females trying to survive in the harsh world of the 17th Century theatre business. There were some wonderful comic moments, excellent delivery and accents! As each character faced their fate it was done with lovely poignancy.
After a quick scene change, the audience were treated to the students' own imaginatively devised piece. Audience members were asked to stand around the actors throughout and be involved, giving the performance an extra intensity.
The showcase was an opportunity for the students to perform their pieces before being examined next week. With great characterisation and polished performances the examiner will be in for a treat. Best of luck!
