Who wants some Porridge?
Aaryan Amar, Year 6
Beacon Academy held its Theatre Festival at Gedung Kesenian, Jakarta on May 13, 2014. Three shows were
performed: The Jungle Book, Porridge, and Seussical.
TheYear 3s, 4s, and 5s and the Beacon Academy staff worked tirelessly for months on the spectacular
production, ‘Porridge’. Some students proved to be budding actors within the Beacon Academy walls.
The wonderful show “Porridge” delighted their audience with a fascinating story, colourful costumes and
unforgettable music. The students acted out the story of a crime wave that hit Happy Valley. There was a
caseload of mysteries to be solved such as: Who's stolen Ma Hubbard's recipe book? Who's kidnapped Marigold
the cow? And what dirty secret is Papa Bear hiding behind his Porridge Empire? It was down to Private Detective
Jack Spratt to uncover the terrifying truth.
This humorous tale was written by Craig Hawes, who also wrote ‘Pirates of The Curry Bean’, a previous Beacon
Academy production. Q
