Our National Theatre Connections production of ‘(Circle Dreams Around) the Terrible, Terrible Past’ involved students from Years 8 to 13.

As well as the acting, our students also made all the props, ran the stage management, and created an original music score. The first performance in our Main Hall was in front of a National Theatre Mentor, who came along to give feedback. This helped with the next performance at the Poole Lighthouse Theatre. Connections is a youth theatre festival hosted by National Theatre. Each year, 10 new plays are commissioned and performed by youth groups and schools across the country.
