A Level Drama and Theatre Trip
Year 13 Drama students attended a production of The Bacchae at The National Theatre on Wednesday 1st October.
It was a thrilling adaptation by Nima Taleghani of Euripides Greek tragedy which allowed a strong female chorus to take us through the eventful return of Dionysus to Thebes seeking recognition from his family. The students were blown away with the production, commenting it was “Extraordinary”, “Captivating” and “Relatable to a contemporary Audience”. The students will use this experience of live theatre to debate in their A Level exam the value of using old theatrical material when trying to build younger audience attendance.
The students were exemplary and were upgraded by the National to the best seats in the house!
