All the best performers bring to their role something more, something diΩerent than what the author
put on paper. That's what makes theatre live. That's why it persists. stephen sondheim
The number and scope of dramatic productions increases steadily each year at
King's and there is plenty of opportunity for pupils to get involved in acting or
backstage. A major production is held in the Michaelmas Term-alternating
between a musical and a straight play each year. The quality and scale of these
productions is impressive and critically acclaimed. Smaller pieces include an
annual junior play, inter-house drama, ad hoc pupil productions and curriculum
drama works for examination. A weekly primary school drama activity takes
plays devised and performed by our pupils into the local community.
King's College seeks to attract pupils with outstanding acting potential to
maintain the exceptionally strong reputation the school enjoys for its dramatic
productions.
