Year 7/8 Drama

As the middle school production, 12 boys from Years 7 and 8 performed two plays, one comedy and one drama. The comedy, ‘Red Face Foolishness’, was written especially for the boys with their talents in mind. In a classroom, a Mad Professor is filling in for the usual science teacher. He sprays the room with a formula that makes the boys behave in embarrassing ways. The resulting mayhem gave full rein to the boys’ comic talents. In the drama, ‘Rabbit’, by David Foxton, the bomb has been dropped and the adults made a special effort to preserve the young. Without adults, a tribe of boys is surviving as best they can in a ruined world. When a newcomer is brought into the group, events begin that fundamentally change their lives. The boys impressed their audience with their ability to change moods totally and tell this tragic tale with great pathos. Mr Andrew Murrell
