Theatre Trip
On Wednesday 18th December, just before the holidays, year 12 and year 13 drama students enjoyed a trip to the theatre to see a version of Alice in Wonderland, set in Brixton. The production featured rap music, a cast of weird and wonderful characters
from the area and a train careering towards 'Nonsenseland'. It was a fun, festive evening, enjoyed by all!

I went to the Brixton house theatre to watch Alice in Wonderland, the play started after an explosive argument with Mum at Brixton Underground Station, eleven-year-old Alice leaps onto the tube seconds before the doors close.
Trapped on a train speeding into Nonsense, surrounded by weird and wonderful passengers, and at the mercy of a Queen who won’t relinquish the controls of the Victorian line tube.
The play was every vibrant using bright colour costume and engaging lighting and acting. The acting was perfect for all ages and captured the whole audience with interactive sing-alongs.
