Y8 rose theatre drama trip

y7 victorian drama

Year 8 students recently attended the compelling play ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’ at the Rose Theatre. The production, exploring themes of friendship, family, and identity, left a profound impact on our students. Teachers commended their exemplary behaviour, and the play served as both entertainment and education, offering insights into drama techniques. Reflecting on the experience, students expressed enthusiasm for applying what they learned in future performances. One student reflected on the trip: “I liked how the characters spoke to the audience. I incorporated breaking the fourth wall in my performance today.” Another shared: “The actors used multi-role. I did this in our lesson as I changed from a victim of the bombing to a reporter asking questions about the event.” Their insightful comments demonstrate the lasting impression of the play and its influence on our students’ creative aspirations.
