Audience Taken to Narnia in Lower School Production

An audience of parents and staff were transported to Narnia yesterday evening in the opening night of this year’s Lower School Production, ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.’ In a superb piece of staging, the opening scene took place in the foyer of Student Services to represent the ‘real’ world of the play. Audience members stood to watch this scene before being led, literally, through the wardrobe of the play and into the drama studio, transformed by superb scenery and lighting design into Narnia. The audience were delighted by the performance, with one younger member declaring it ‘totally awesome’. The cast, comprised of students from Years 7 to 10, were directed by Mrs Golding and supported by a large number of talented students fulfilling backstage roles. Siena, Amelie and Eliza, cast members from Year 10, described how the whole cast and crew had worked so well together since rehearsals started after Easter. ‘Despite the challenges of acting whilst manipulating polystyrene legs, playing Aslan was great fun and a totally different experience to anything we’d done before,’ Eliza and Amelie explained, whilst all paid tribute to the hard work and dedication of the teachers who have worked so hard with them. Aslan himself was generously loaned to the drama department by Burnham Grammar School with other props supplied by St Peter Players and Ricky Players. Many thanks go to all the students and staff who should be congratulated on this superb production.
