Our most recent production – ‘The Odyssey’. 
This was our most student-centred performance ever, with over 70 students taking part. 
Lighting was used to great effect to create a spooky atmosphere. 
Our student-led Tech Crew were on hand to run the lights, along with all other technical elements. 
Our musicians were in the pit below the stage, contributing to the ambience of the piece.
Each year, the drama and music departments produce a fantastic production of either a musical or a play, often in conjunction with the Green School for Girls. They take place in the school hall, with students integral to all aspects of the production. These include acting, scoring the show’s music (often including original compositions), the design and production of stage scenery, as well as backstage duties such as wardrobe and make-up, lighting and stage management. Below is a list of these shows.
