THE Dulwich Despatch Summer 2023
Best in Show Lower School House Drama took place in the EAT at the end of the Spring Term, writes Sam Cowell (Y8) with all eight houses battling it out for 1 st place. The theme for this year ’ s pieces was Musicals, and there was some excellent singing, dancing and acting from all houses. Eventually, Grenville (Aladdin) was named the winner by the external adjudicator, with Drake (The Wizard of Oz) and Marlowe (The Sound of Music) coming 2 nd and 3 rd respectively. For many new Y7s, this was their first time performing at Dulwich in the Edward Alleyn Theatre, and in front of a full audience. Nerves were quite high backstage, but that didn ’ t translate to the performances, which were met with rapturous applause, and often loud laughs, from the audience. All in all, it was a fantastic evening, and many thanks go to the Drama Department, especially Mrs Mackenzie and Miss Ibbotson, for organising and helping all eight houses. It was a great experience for all involved, and now we look forward to the summer play The Red Shoes, and many more years of drama to come.
