A visit from The National Theatre of Scotland

We were very pleased to welcome The National Theatre of Scotland to Barrhead High School on Monday 10th September. Pupils from the S3 and S4 Intermediate Drama classes got to see two fantastic performances. In the afternoon we saw ‘Yellow Moon’ and the evening performance was ‘Monster in the hall’.

Pupils and staff thoroughly enjoyed the shows and it was an excellent opportunity for the students to watch a professional theatre company at work.

We would like to say a big thank you to the actors and production crew from The National Theatre of Scotland and a big thank you to Eastwood Park Theatre. We hope you will visit Barrhead high School again in the future.

Some quotes from the audience:

It was just fab!”

Donna, S4

Craig, S4

The acting was inspirational!”

Penny, S4

It was very good. It made me happy.”

Michael, S4
