A completely exclusive collaboration by
the BRGS Performing Arts Team in the
shape of a dramatic production featuring music, song
and dance, delicately woven together by a thought-provoking
theme of 'betrayal'.
Head of Drama, Mr Neve, worked with the BRGS Drama
students to create a piece of political theatre that could be used as the seed
of a production that would sprout into a concept musical, creating space for
all the creative arts to make a statement.
The show is in two scrumptious segments: the first is set in the Betrayal Café where
a group of life’s lonely misfits seek solace in a disjointed community,
only to discover they are all connected by some perverse irony; the second, the
internet café, sees a disgruntled youth embark on a roller-coaster ride
of the superhighways through the rocky terrain of internet dating and inveterate
desire.
Acting Head of Music, Mr Mercer, was been given carte blanche
to find music that evokes and respects the theme of the piece and Mr
Neve has rewritten some of the song lyrics to ensure that these gel
aptly with the potent drama.
Miss Todd, our new dance teacher, also
added appropriate dance numbers to ensure there was variety
and physical dynamism.
