On Wednesday evening, Year 12 A Level Drama students performed their devised exam pieces to an audience of friends and family. 

Over the past 3 months, students have been studying theatre practitioners and working to create performance inspired by their style. 

The first performance of the evening was a hard hitting drama, inspired by feminist theatre practitioner, Katie Mitchell. The performance, which tackled the issue of domestic violence, cleverly combined naturalistic acting with multimedia and had a shocking twist which had audience members on the edge of their seats. 

In contrast, the second performance was inspired by observation comedy practitioner, John Godber and saw Susan, Bev, Kelly and Joanne band together to try and save the beloved airline, Wizz Wings. With multi-role, stylised movement and direct address of the audience, the fast-paced comedy was a roaring success. 

Well done to all students who performed this evening.
