Shakespeare at the school



The Pocket Oxford Theatre Company was at our center last Thursday 20th February to perform Romeo and Juliet for all the students of ESO.
Queen Elizabeth I telephones Shakespeare demanding that he performs his latest tragedy for her Romeo and Juliet, or she will chop off his head. Unfortunately , however, the Puritans have just burst into theatre, closing it down and placing all the actors. Shakespeare and his girlfriend, Anne Hathaway, are left into no other choice than to perform the play themselves with a little help from  our students . They discover a masked ball, a barmy balcony scene, some serious sword fighting and a crazy horse chase, not to mention learning how to make a tragic death scene really tragic!!!
