Sixth Form, Boarding, Performing Arts

Well done to Miranda Pharoah, one of our Year 12 drama scholars, for writing and directing her play, ‘Oh, the cleverness of me!’ which was performed in the Memorial Hall on Thursday 31 March.

The play was set in a children's ward, with characters December, Addeline, Lalji and Theo who spend their nights lost in storytelling, until it's time for the stories to end.

Leanne Vincent-Norgate, Head of Drama, said: “It was a magical evening of student led wonder. We are so proud to give our students the platform to challenge themselves and express their individual creativity. Well Done to Miranda and the cast of 'Oh, the cleverness of me!'”

Miranda Pharoah said: “'Oh the Cleverness of Me' was the first play I directed and what a joy it was to see something I've written come to life; for a play about the power of storytelling, a group of students getting together to create something that touched others was magical. I am very proud of everyone who worked on it and came to support us.”
