Caterham School Pupils Perform Alice in Wonderland

On Thursday 25 June and Friday 26 June, pupils at Caterham School performed Alice in Wonderland to large audiences of parents, teachers and friends.

Forty-two pupils were involved either in the cast or in the backstage team. Saskia Jiggens (2D), as Alice, completely stole the show with a polished performance as the eponymous heroine. Joe McNeice (1C), who gallantly donned a dress to play a hilarious Duchess, and Rachel Wright (3A) who was a formidable Queen of Hearts, ably supported her. Sixth Former Ben Horne, in his last ever production at Caterham, went out in style as the twitchy White Rabbit.

Headmaster Julian Thomas said. ‘’ I am always impressed by the amount of enthusiasm and commitment that our pupils bring to their studies and to the co-curricular activities. This was another very enjoyable production and follows a much acclaimed Toad of Toad Hall earlier this year. Drama and Theatre Studies is flourishing at Caterham School both as an academic subject and as a co-curricular activity. I was very pleased to see all year groups represented in the cast and crew.’’
