As part of their English
lessons, pupils in year 8 study one of Shakespeare's most
famous comedies, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. To conclude
their work on this play, 8G performed the closing
scene,
which includes the hilarious recital of of 'The most lamentable
comedy and most cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe' and
the Court's witty reactions and enjoyment of the workmen's
play.
Miss Strickland's class excelled themselves in preparing
elaborate costumes and props for the performance; some
students even went to the effort of hiring outfits, such
was their enthusiasm and commitment to the task.
The scene required pupils to play various roles, including
characters representing a lion, a wall and moonshine. 8G
exhibited creative brilliance in their costume design,
which included wigs, painted cardboard and painted faces!
Overall, the class thoroughly enjoyed the experience which
showcased their dedication and exceptional potential. |
