Year 8 English remotely perform scenes from ‘The Tempest’

The English Department believed that the best way to appreciate Shakespeare is to get up and do it! Boys in Mrs Morris-Wolffe’s Year 8 English group have been studying ‘The Tempest‘ and were determined to act out some scenes from the play through remote learning.

 

They have been rehearsing the very funny scene where Prospero lures the clowns, Trinculo, Stephano and Caliban with some ‘trumpery’ (gaudy clothes and accessories) and then sets his spirit dogs on them as a punishment for plotting to kill him.

 

Well done to all the mums, dads, brothers and sisters who got involved, taking on the roles of the clowns and dressing up in some fabulous and outrageous clothes, hats and wigs! Also to the cats and dogs who played, some rather reluctantly we are told, the spirit dogs.
