Drama

‘All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players…’

(William Shakespeare)

As the origins of theatre can be traced back to the Ancient Greeks, the study of Drama is an integral part of Classical Education. Although St Augustine condemned the theatre of his time, he was well acquainted with the Classics, as knowledge of them contributes to playing one’s part well in the theatre of life. Coincidently, Drama helps reinforce the rest of the Classical Curriculum with a holistic approach to education. The study of Drama facilitates the students’ understanding of Literature, History and their burgeoning interest in Public Speaking. Finally, the study of Drama provides students with an opportunity to practise charity in that they are compelled to move out of a ‘selfish’ mindset to a collaborative one where they create art not for themselves but rather for the enjoyment of others. Being encouraged to share their God-given talents in this way fits well with the Catholic ethos of the school. Past performances have included:
