8 DRAMA
House Drama 2017
House Drama is the first inter-house event of the School
year. In under four weeks each house has to produce
a twenty minute play, which is performed first to the
School and then, following feedback and a chance to
tweak the productions, in front of an audience of family,
friends, pupils, staff and an invited judge. This year the
guest judge was comedienne Candy Gigi Markham.
It is always an event which sees passions and rivalry run high, and
2017 was no exception. All houses performed to a very high standard
but this was definitely School House’s year. Its production about
