Year 7 are Treated to a Perfect Performance!

Before Christmas, year 7 were treated to a rather impressive afternoon showing of Much Ado About Nothing. Selby High School's HLTA Sally Lewis directed a cast of students from across all year groups and they performed an abridged version of the Shakespeare play.  

The cast had previously prepared the play for the annual Shakespeare Schools' Festival and had performed at the York Theatre Royal back in October. Luckily for us, they agreed to rehearse again and perform again.

The event helped year 7 to see a Shakespeare play in performance and should bring to life their studies of Shakespeare which will be undertaken later in the year.  The afternoon concluded with a detailed question and answer session which demonstrated super engagement from the audience and a true inquisitiveness as to how the actors had found their experiences.
