What a surprise everyone got when they walked into the hall yesterday morning. The space is unrecognisable with (as you can see from the photographs) a massive state-of-the-art stage built along one wall in preparation for today’s performances of ‘Divided City’.

The children rehearsed all day in Townhead Primary yesterday and will do one final run-through on stage this morning. Primary 7 parents and guests really are in for a huge treat at today’s performances (1.45pm and 6.30pm) and I have no doubt that ‘Divided City’ will go down as one of the most memorable experiences of the children’s seven years in St Bartholomew’s.

A huge thank you to Mrs McFarlane for all her hard work with the children and, of course, to the team from Citizens Theatre who have worked so tirelessly with the class over the past few months.

But, of course, the stars of the show are the children. I know they will do St Bart’s proud! Break a leg, boys and girls!
