For one afternoon only Purple Lane was transformed into an Italian village as our new Yr 7s worked enthusiastically with students from the prestigious Mountview Theatre School. Before lunch the whole of year seven watched a lively performance of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” then a group worked on improvisation and learning the opening routine to the show.

Year 11s studying for their GCSE Drama were also part of the audience and participated in the  Mountview workshop.

This was an excellent introduction to Shakespeare!
