Props disappearing, actors vanishing, what could possibly go wrong?

Thursday 23 November: props disappearing, actors vanishing, what could possibly go wrong? It must be Highsted’s annual House Drama competition! 

The six houses were represented by a mix of students from across Years 7-13 and gave incredible performances, inspired by this year’s theme of comedy. Judges this year were Mr Callum Brown, Miss Miranda Black and Miss Hannah Farley-Hills, all experts in Drama.

Winners this year, Eliot, performed their own version of The Play That Goes Wrong in 1920s murder mystery style at Highsted Manor. During the play, props started to disappear, actors went missing and even the set began to fall down around the cast. 

Other performances included: Seacole’s adaptation of The Breakfast Club; Keller’s presentation of well-known British sit-com Miranda; Roddick’s humorous story of couples looking for love at the Last Dates Restaurant, Franklin’s tale of friendship and laughter at Grangewood Schooland Chanel’s Peter Pan Goes Wrong.

All the students worked fantastically together and an enjoyable evening was had by all.
