A huge congratulations to everyone involved in the Senior Play this week! The cast, crew and creative teams have done a tremendous job with productions of Oedipus and Antigone which we are delighted have played to sold-out audiences. The cast have delivered breathtaking performances, working collaboratively as our two Greek ensembles, with stunning lead performances from Theo S., Marina P. and Clara T.
Rachel W. and Oscar T. have given (much needed!) comic-relief, and there’s been some exceptional work from Oedipus’ Chorus, with Scarlett L.’s chilling monologue and Eva G.’s compelling Chorus Leader. The stage and technical aspects of the show have been led brilliantly by our fantastic production teams: Emma M., Kashmir K., Eva S., Lucas W., Emma R., Macsen M., Grace H., Hope S., Alex T., Catherine B., Millie Q., Mia D., and Finn S., overseen by Miss Kerstein and Miss Marcoveccio. A particular well done on getting the 45-minute set change down to 18-minutes by opening night (apologies from Mr Winer and Mr Maskell for creating two very different but equally complicated worlds!!). There have been tonnes of comments about the incredible set and costume design, thanks to Miss Gu, as well as Miss Marcovecchio, Ice D., and Finn S.’s haunting sound and lighting design. A huge thank you as well to the fabulous catering team for looking after our audiences during the interval, Mr Skinner for all his support with video and filming, as well as everyone who has helped front of house and backstage.
Mr Winer, Director in Residence
