A Midsummer Night’s Dream

‘I have had a most rare vision.  I had a dream….’

Drama & Theatre Club’s final thespian outing of the school year took place on Tuesday 16^th July.  The venue was Prescot’s Shakespeare North Playhouse and the spectacle to behold was The HandleBards performing A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The HandleBards’ high energy performance was a fitting climax to another dramatic year at Malvern.  Four amazing actors played multiple roles with a mesmerising passion and enthusiasm that had the audience spellbound from the beginning.  Drama & Theatre Club children had a wonderful time – and at the end of the performance, they were able to meet the cast and pose for photos.

As ever, Drama & Theatre Club children were excellent ambassadors for Malvern.  Indeed, one of the actors commented on the children’s reactions and the fact that they knew how to ‘behave’ as an audience.

A member of staff at the theatre talked to Malvern teachers to say that she had been at Knowlsey Hall (with a group of friends, including some retired teachers) to see Hamlet the previous week.  She reported that all in her group had been very impressed with Malvern children’s ‘audience skills’.
