Drama and theatre outreach

An adaptation of "Oh What a Lovely War" was created by a team of pupils and teachers at King's including children aged from 14 to 18. The performance needed over 100 pupils working in the production, both Front and backstage.

As part of this production pupils from local secondary schools were invited to join this performance either from a history perspective or to develop a passion for the arts and drama.

The performance (which turned out to be a dress rehearsal) resulted in over 60 youngsters watching.
