Adjudicator\u2019s comments : This has been an excellent night! The theme for the festival is \u2018Celebration\u2019 \u2013 the pleasure of doing and watching drama \u2013 and an important part of this is the rehearsal stage, putting the play together to delight the audience.\u00a0 Well, we were delighted tonight!<\/em><\/p>\n

I very seldom see children as young as P3-5 on stage, and I\u2019ve never seen them engaged and entertaining us to such a level.\u00a0 The music was terrific, the movement great, the noises wonderful.\u00a0 The movement was very modern \u2013 often with a box set children just stay within it, but these animals were everywhere! Up and down the auditorium \u2013 great fun.\u00a0 They had the confidence and the competence to engage with you, me, each other.\u00a0 Everyone was in role for the whole play \u2013 the farmer trying to keep control \u2013 what a beard! Do you think if I worked at it I could grow one like that? The cats \u2013 they\u2019re going to be a problem when they\u2019re older \u2013 niggling at each other like that! The ponies eating away, the pig shuffling about, the cows, the sheep nudging each other up at the back, the dog with his bone, all the excitable hens and the ducks with their flippers, the laid back fox, the sneaky rat \u2013 everyone was excellent.<\/em><\/p>\n

The play was ideal to engage, stretch and challenge these young actors.\u00a0 I was delighted to see it was also part of a project to keep the Shetland dialect alive and vibrant. Well done Aith Junior High School \u2013 please put your hands together for these talented young actors.<\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\"IMG_0670\"<\/a>\"IMG_0681\"<\/a>\"IMG_0691\"<\/a>\"IMG_0692\"<\/a>\"IMG_0696\"<\/a>\"IMG_0707\"<\/a>\"IMG_0711\"<\/a>\"IMG_0715\"<\/a>\"IMG_0718\"<\/a>\"IMG_0723\"<\/a>\"IMG_0726\"<\/a><\/p>\n
