Year 12 Drama


MEDEA : by Euripides

For the examination part of the AS Drama course, theYear 12 students today performed this ancient Greek tragedy about a woman who gets revenge on her husband in a terrible way. With a cast of only 6, the students had to play multiple roles. They also rotated the central character of 'Medea' and shared the entire plot together. They used only minimal props - 6 black door frames on wheels - which were used to create a variety of moveable scenes and scenarios. The students have been preparing for this since January and have worked hard in their free time, after school and at weekends to rehearse the play together and to ensure they were able to match the demands and challenges of this production.

I would like to congratulate Briony Appletree, Keri Allen, Jessica Daulton, Elizabeth Lee, Francesca Montanino and Helen Oldham for their hard work and commitment to this course. They have been a pleasure to teach and I wish them all success in their forthcoming examinations.
