04 Autumn Term

Reddam Theatre Company’s inaugural production of Animal Farm exploded onto the stage with a visually impressive scenic design.

The new narrative allowed the Boy’s actions and movements to have a tangible impact on the animals on the stage from falling snow, to spilled grain wasted due to Mr Jones’ drunken negligence, from red petals falling as the new leaders the pigs took control and slaughtered traitors, right through to the Autumn leaves signalling a new season. Our students physically threw themselves into this energetic performance, showcasing the standard of the work achieved here at Reddam House.

Year 3 and 4 put in a stunning performance in James and the Giant Peach. The peach took them to New York in Roald Dahl’s famous story, and the children had a wonderful time showcasing their talent in an extremely dramatic performance.

It was the turn of the students in Years 5 and 6 to perform Matilda, which they did with impressive confidence. There were solos

and fantastically choreographed routines which thrilled the audience on two successive nights.
