At long last The Royal School Drama department were able to perform in a packed Kilmorey theatre with a spring production of 'The Wizard of Oz'! After two years of outdoor cabaret filmed performances and Covid related false starts it was a pleasure to hear the hum of excitement fill the theatre as pupils from Year 7 to Upper Sixth (and a live dog!) took to the stage to perform 'The Wizard of Oz' on 3 and 4 March.
The production combined live action and footage that had been pre-recorded in the school’s brand new TV studio, perfectly edited and seamlessly blended into the production. The show even got a shout out from Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 2!
Mr Ed Taylor-Gooby, Head of Drama, said, “The talent on display was outstanding and our inclusive approach that still maintains professional standards continues to give our pupils and audiences an outstanding theatrical experience!” It really was a bit of a wiz if ever a wiz there was!
