DRAMA
EMIL AND THE DETECTIVES by Carl Miller This year we were able to bring back a whole school production including students from Year 7 upwards. Our production was based on the brilliant novel by Eric Kastner during 1920s Berlin. It is a tale of adventure, following a young child from Neustadt as he chases a man named Mr Snow, who stole his money on the way to visit his Grandma in Berlin. The show was a contemporary adaptation of Emil and the Detectives, using a mixture of physical theatre, abstract drama and comedy to tell a fast-paced story. The brilliant young performers made Dubai College history, being the first public play performance to be held in the new SPACE building after several Covid-19 restrictions. We were thrilled to finally get to perform, the students worked extremely hard and showed true resilience.
