What a fortnight it has been!

Our workshops and rehearsals culminated in an epic night of theatre last Friday, as our company performed our interpretation of ‘King Lear’ at the Northern Stage to tumultuous applause and praise! Our children received a standing ovation for their hard work and there was not a single person in the audience that wasn’t moved. Our climate change inspired play was a true testament to the incredible skills of each of our children and we could not be more proud of everyone involved in this momentous project! We also performed our play for the final time this week for our friends back at school. We’ve been on an incredible journey for the couple of months and to see our work come together like it did was nothing short of inspirational. We can’t wait to share the professional photos from the night with you all and there will be a DVD version of our performance for every child involved so they can relive this occasion at their leisure. I would like to personally thank and congratulate each and every one of the children and staff who were involved in the Shakespeare Schools Festival this year for their hard work and dedication to the project – ‘nothing comes from nothing’ as we know!

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!
