S3 Romeo and Juliet Performances

Leave a comment

Zeffirelli, Luhrmann, Olivier, Leigh – ain’t got nothing on Miss Burns’ S3 class who worked tirelessly for weeks to put on their own group performances of their favourite scenes from the world’s most famous love story (yes even more famous than Twilight!). Props were made, costumes were fashioned, lines were learned by heart. Former pupil, Fraser Burns once again lent his expertise to coaching and supporting pupils in their rehearsals. An absolutely tremendous effort from the S3! Bravo!

Two interpretations of the famous death scene.

Best group performance for Jamie Scott and David James

Joint Best Actor Award

Best Overall Performance for Alex Cameron – well done!

Best Actress for Rachel O’Neill

Endeavour Award for Daniel Beck

Best Costumes

Best Props

Best Group Preparation

Some action shots – the Capulets and Montague fight scene where they bite thumbs at each other and Friar Lawrence (looking mighty cool).

Miss Burns and Fraser were very impressed with everyone’s effort in putting on their little drama from the acting and costumes to the group work and respect. Well done!

Well done to the S1 Storytellers who all performed magnificently at our storytelling event for family and friends on Thursday 30th May. Thank you to supporters for coming along to share the magic of storytelling. And thank you to the wonderful Bea Ferguson, a celebrated storyteller who has worked with our pupils over the past few months to introduce them to stories and develop their confidence. Bea, you have been a great friend to Coatbridge High. Thanks also go to Fraser Burns, former CHS pupil and soon to be drama teacher, who has inspired pupils as he helped to train them for the storytelling event. We loved the ‘Hey Francesco’ warm-up! This has become a highlight on our departmental calendar and we are amazed at how our S1 Storytellers grow in confidence throughout the year. Bravo!
