DRAMA// EXAMINATIONS
A1 LEVEL & GCSE
Congratulations to all those who performed so admirably
in their Al Levels and GCSEs. A fine range of styles and
techniques was shown, with everyone pushing hard to
achieve their very best.
Particular congratulations go to the Lower Sixth whose
interpretation of Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus was stylish, clean
and very tightly performed. Not a move was wasted, not a
voice unheard.
These events are open for all to see and take place
throughout the year. Please get in touch if you would like
to watch them. We guarantee originality, dedication and
passion for performance.

Congratulations to all!
