On 2^nd and 3^rd of May, year 11 drama students performed 4 pieces of work to an audience of friends and family and to an examiner.

Inspired by the phrase, ‘Everybody has a story to tell’, the students devised original pieces of work full of humour, imagination and emotion.

On the 2^nd May, students performed two pieces, ‘Number 42’ and ‘Love, Hate ‘n’ Peas’.

‘Number 42’ was devised and performed by Fraser Threlfall, Heather Richardson, Adrian Etale, Tom Stott, Roxy Duncan and Alissia Holmes. The piece told the story of one average family through the eyes of their Milkman. Full of narration, exaggerated characterisation and strong use of techniques the company conveyed the story really well and kept the audience laughing throughout.

‘Love, Hate ‘n’ Peas’ was also devised completely by the students in the company which was made up of James Illsley, Jack Featherstone, Lauren Middleton, Nicole Jones, Rosa Bracho, Martin Dooley and Hannah Prentice. This piece was a parody of life in a very average high school, in Yorkshire, (sound familiar…?!) where two teachers fall in love. Full of caricatures and narration the students took the audience through the story brilliantly. Some of the staff who came to watch saw some rather familiar characters in the story!
