Our Year 9 Drama students have been busy working on their ensemble Shakespearean play of Twelfth Night! During remote learning students studied Elizabethan Theatre. The class chose the Shakespearean classic Twelfth Night with a modern twist and since returning to the classroom students have been working hard to learn their lines and blocking in preparation for their final assessment performance.

I would like to congratulate the Year 9 Drama class on an exceptional rendition of the classic play.

Directors notes

My experience directing the Twelfth Night play was such a fun and awesome task. I was able to work with friends and peers to create this amazing play. Although sometimes we faced challenges, as a team we always worked together to find solutions. I am so proud of every single person for the effort and dedication they have put into making this performance so fantastic, especially my directing partner Mason and Drama teacher Mrs Martins. This is most certainly an experience I will never forget.

Having the chance to take one step closer to my film directing dream couldn’t be even better whilst directing The Twelfth Night class play. Without the incredible cast and crew facing hurdles together and eventually leaping over them as a team, it had made this experience run with ease. Furthermore, I’m truly grateful for every member contribution in the class play contribution that had provided me the extra support I needed to develop my vision regarding the script. This is definitely one experience I would turn back time for.
