Our year 12 AS class have been exploring the work of Knee High Theatre Company.

We're back for the new year! Watch this space for updates about what we're up to in Gordonstoun's Drama Department.

Auditions for this year's musical 'Beauty and the Beast'. This is a brilliant cast and we're so excited to be starting to work with them all towards this fantastic show!

Very first planning session for our new year 12 students developing a new production of The Tempest this term...

A truly great show by our younger students, proving they can compete with the very best of our seniors! Some amazing talent here, congratulations to all of these fantastic actors 😀

Rehearsals for Year 9 and 10 Macbeth going well! ⚠ Spoiler alert ⚠ Banquo dies!!! Here's our very first practice for his slow motion death scene... Music to be added later! We'll be showing a section of the play for the visiting Prep Schools next Saturday and then the full production on 23rd and 24th June. Very excited!

We've begun working on our year 9 and 10 production of Macbeth for the very end of the Summer Term. Here's a little sneaky peak at a very early rehearsal. If you'd like to see more we'll be showcasing a short section of the show on Open Day and you can come and see the final production on 23rd and 24th June.

We're very pleased to be able to announce that following auditions held in the Ogstoun Theatre back in February, three of our Year 13 students have been offered places with the National Youth Theatre... Over 5000 young people aged 14-25 audition for the coveted places on the NYT summer courses each year, so it's a huge well done to Flora, Imogen and Zoe who will be spending almost a month of the summer working with industry professionals down in London. Upon completing the course they will become members of the National Youth Theatre. Alumni of the NYT include Helen Mirren, Daniel Craig, Colin Firth, Daniel Day-Lewis, Orlando Bloom, Catherine Tate, Ben Kingsley, Ashley Jensen, Derek Jacobi, Timothy Dalton, David Walliams, Matt Lucas, Hugh Bonneville, Matt Smith, Zawe Ashton, Chiwetel Ejiofor and many more. the NYT audition team will be returning to Gordonstoun next year to audition again, so make sure you take the opportunity and it might be you next time!
