In the first half of each summer term, the Performing Arts Studio is available for any Middle Fourth, Upper Fourth, or Lower Sixth pupils to rehearse and perform a play or musical of their choosing. This event is entirely pupil-led, allowing budding directors, designers and performers their chance to work together, on a project they feel passionate about.
This year we had three productions:
- The Man in the Woods, an original Middle Fourth piece, written by Lucy Peer, William Watkinson, and Lila Pramoj.
- An extract from the musical, Dear Evan Hansen, directed by Harlie Kirkman,
- An extract from Harold Pinter’s The Lover, directed by John Warfield.
This eclectic mix of performances proves that the thespians at Epsom are both passionate and intellectual; their performances were professional and heartfelt. A wonderful evening of pupil-led theatre, showcasing Epsom’s thespian talent, at its best. Bravo and congratulations to all!
