These included Hamlet at the RSC, Stratford, Much Ado About Nothing at the Old Vic, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at the Apollo Theatre, and Richard II at the Barbican. ‘London’s West End is one of the world’s most vibrant theatre communities. As Dulwich boys, we are very privileged to see productions that enrich our learning while studying English, such as Sam Mendes’ King Lear at the National.’ Will Thomas, Year 13 ‘All the performances by the tightly- knit cast of 1984 were powerful, mixing outbursts of hysteria with the latent sense that something was not quite right. Tim Dutton’s performance as the disturbing interrogator, O’Brien, was a highlight in a production that did an excellent job of reinvigorating Orwell’s book for the stage.’ Will Cook, Year 13 This year, the annual Sixth Form literary trip to the Lake District and the houses of Wordsworth became a joint venture with Benenden School. In addition to hill-walking, the students toured around Dove Cottage where they enjoyed looking at some very rare and valuable first editions: Lyrical Ballads , Wordsworth’s annotated Paradise Lost and Frankenstein .
The authors published in 17.
‘Over February half-term, we were fortunate enough to visit the Lake District, an area renowned for its beauty. The trip offered a chance to visit some of the more incredible landscapes of England, but also gave great insight into the history of the Romantic poets.’ Alexander Joe, Year 13 17 is an annual publication that celebrates original writing at A level, inspired by authors such as Woolf, Joyce, Greene, Nabokov, Cheever and Murakami. ‘As a writer, there is no greater satisfaction than that of having your work published. How extraordinary, therefore, that as a student of English at Dulwich College, one is able to experience this with 17, our annual collection of short stories written by boys in the Remove.’ Alexander Joe, Year 13
