2nd Years Triumph at the 18th Shakespeare Festival

A huge congratulations to all our incredible 2nd Years who took to the stage for the 18th Truro School Shakespeare Festival. Tackling the complexities of Shakespeare’s language and bringing his timeless stories to life is no easy feat, yet our pupils rose to the challenge with skill, confidence, flair and joy.

With captivating performances of Henry V, Queen Lear, Much Ado About Nothing, Macbeth, and The Tempest, they delivered two truly memorable evenings. The Shakespeare Festival is a brilliant opportunity for all 2nd Year pupils to engage with Shakespeare as performers, and this year’s cohort did so with remarkable energy and enthusiasm. Directed by their English teachers, rehearsed in lessons, and performed live for parents in the Burrell Theatre, the festival was a triumph.

A huge thank you to our fantastic 2nd Years and our outstanding teachers, Mr Berger, Mrs Vaughan, Miss Overend, Mrs Hood, Mrs Husband, Ms Egar and Ms Selvey for making this event such a success!
