SUMMER TERM
Senior Life ‘The Yielding’ Over the Easter holidays, 23 4th Year students filmed The Yielding, a futuristic dystopian play inspired by the pupils and written by Mr Oldfield. The Yielding tells the bleak story of a group of teenagers kept as slaves in a mining complex: how they survive, the harsh ‘Guardians’ who rule over them, and the desperate resistance fighters who are bent on rescuing them. The pupil-led inspiration behind the script came out of devising workshops undertaken last year in conjunction with Roseland Academy. Whilst this was originally designed to be a coproduction performed in front of an audience, the drama department and technical team seized the opportunity to make the most of the current situation and create a film production instead.
