Theatre Studies students act for results!

AS Level Theatre Studies classes took their practical exams this week at Stonyhurst College, performing Diane Samuel’s Kindertransport and Jean Anouilh’s Antigone. The first play was about the displacement of Jewish children in WW2, and their new lives in England, cleverly weaving together the past with the present. The second is a French, 20th century version of the Greek tale of Antigone, who fights to the death for her brother’s honour.
Both performances were excellent and attended by a large, appreciative audience of supporters.
