This term, the Middle School play takes place in a bustling community centre, home to a boxing ring, a creative writing group, first aid classes, and Sunday bingo. When tragedy shakes the community, the story explores how small, unexpected connections can emerge, gradually softening life’s rough edges and helping the people find a way forward together.

Our thespians worked with Sam Griffiths (of band The Howl and The Hum) and Matthew Herd (of band Seafarers) and theatre maker Matt Harrison, whilst collaborating for the first time with writer Natasha Collie (Royal Court Theatre/National Youth Theatre). Our drama students also collaborated with John Ryder, boxing consultant, to ensure accuracy within the script.

The performances were fantastic, with the audience captivated by this moving tale that explores reputation, acceptance and forgiveness. Congratulations to our students on this beautiful production and to Mr Weinman for his leadership and direction.
