On Wednesday 26th April (2017), members of Drama and Theatre Club went to the Liverpool Everyman Theatre to see a stage adaptation of Brian Patten’s ‘The Story Giant’.
The children had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the play.
The staff at the theatre were very impressed with the excellent behaviour and manners of all Malvern children.
The Drama and Theatre Club children went to the Liverpool Everyman Theatre on 18th October (2016) to see a production of William Shakespeare’s ‘The Two Gentlemen of Verona’.
Presented in conjunction with Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Nick Bagnall’s riotous new production was led by a joyful ensemble of players who delighted the audience with songs, romance and chaos – and brought the Bard’s anarchic comedy into the 21st century.
Members of the public and theatre staff were very impressed with the exemplary behaviour of our Drama and Theatre Club children.
On 29th September (2016), Drama and Theatre Club children visited the Liverpool Empire to see a performance of Willy Russell’s amazing ‘Blood Brothers’.
It wasn’t until the children arrived at the theatre that they found out that they’d be in the presence of royalty ! Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex was attending the gala performance to mark the 150th anniversary of there being a theatre on Lime Street.
The production was excellent and all of the children thoroughly enjoyed it. As usual, the behaviour of Drama and Theatre Club children was exemplary – with members of the audience commenting on the children’s good manners and conduct.
After the cast had responded to several curtain calls, the Earl of Wessex appeared on the stage and was introduced to the actors. He posed for photographs with them and waved to the audience.
During the summer of 2016, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men toured a production of Shakespeare’s comedy ‘Much Ado About Nothing’. On June 22nd, Drama and Theatre Club children attended an outdoor performance at Speke Hall.
Children and staff (including Dr.Bernie Hughes from Liverpool Hope University) took rugs, blankets and garden chairs so as to enjoy a picnic during the play. The Lord Chamberlain’s Men staged a fantastic production – with the historic Speke Hall as a backdrop.
During the interval and at the end of the play, members of the public approached members of staff to comment on the excellent behaviour of Malvern children.
