Students Enjoy Shakespeare at Bristol’s Old Vic Theatre

A small group of students from Years 7–11 travelled to Bristol on Monday to watch a live performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Old Vic Theatre.

The production offered a bold and imaginative interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic play, featuring a range of unusual and entertaining elements. Highlights included ballet-dancing crow men, magical interference in the course of true love, a chef transformed into a donkey and even a surprising Robbie Williams cover.

The performance provided students with an engaging and memorable theatrical experience, bringing Shakespeare’s work to life in a fresh and unexpected way.

All students thoroughly enjoyed the trip, which combined cultural enrichment with a sense of fun and creativity. Thank you to the English department for organising this exciting opportunity.
