On Friday 14 th July, our Year 8 students participated in St Edmund’s very first Performance
Showcase.

Year 8 enjoyed watching performances from students who had taken an original text and transformed it into a very unique piece of theatre. We were treated to an array of wonderful pieces,  including two moving adaptations of Wilfred Owen’s Dulce Et Decorum Est and a very clever performance based on a Much Ado About Nothing monologue. However, Year 8 voted for an extremely engaging performance from 8XR as the winning entry.

All finalists have received a copy of Taran Matharu’s novel The Novice from The Summoner series.

Our winning performers will also enjoy free tickets to our September visit to Wolverhampton Grand  Theatre to watch the National Theatre’s performance of The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
