Junior Drama Scholars Transported to 1930s New York

On Friday 10 May, the Junior Drama scholars (and some Sixth Form Drama leaders) took a trip to 1930s New York to see some ‘Guys & Dolls’ getting up to no good! Mesmerised by the moving parts of the stage and high energy of the show, staff and students alike were clapping along and grinning from ear to ear as this joyful production reminded us what theatre can do. This golden age musical, newly staged at the Bridge Theatre in London, rightly deserves its accolades and awards, with the cast and crew doing an outstanding job of transporting us to the gambling underbelly of New York. It was also an excellent example of how a show in the round, with immersive audience elements, can really make you feel like you’re part of the action, even when you’re sat in the gods! Not a bad way to spend a Friday evening!
