THE ARTS
The Tempest The Drama department delivered its third major production of the academic year, during the first half of this summer term, with a modern reimagination of Shakespeare’s much loved The Tempest in the Boyd Campbell Hall.
T
he cast and crew, drawn from Years 7 to Year 10, collaborated with energy and imagination to deliver this excitingly vivid story using modern technology, projection and dynamic visuals. Two performances were held in May and both were performed to a high standard and enthusiastically received by a capacity crowd. In preparation for the production, the cast and crew had the amazing opportunity to work with professional movement specialist Lisa Lee, who recently choreographed the Queen’s Jubilee Royal Windsor Horse Show. They also performed an abridged version of the play at the Harrow and the Hill Community Day, a major event marking Harrow School’s 450th anniversary in April. These were great learning opportunities, which, alongside the ferocious commitment and dedication put in by the team over the past few months, truly helped make The Tempest a great success. n
