Three Kavanagh teams competed at the Sheilah Winn Shakespeare festival on Wednesday at Kings High School

Three Kavanagh teams competed at the Sheilah Winn Shakespeare festival on Wednesday at Kings High School. All performances were to a very high standard and truly celebrated the works of Shakespeare. 

Kaiser Coles directed a piece from Macbeth staring himself, Alyssa Tomlinson, Rebecca O'Neill, Leon Miyahara, Lukas Coles and Nikita Parker

Savannah Laws directed a piece from A Midsummer Nights Dream staring Sam Meikle, Russell McPherson, Lexie Tomlinson, Ellen Redfearn, Elizabeth Audas and Nicholas Coles

Valentina Yanez Flores directed a piece for The Taming of the Shrew staring Maeischa Fox and Travers Bloemsaat

We were very pleased that our Taming of the Shrew piece was announced as a finalist. An absolute crowd favourite! Travers and Maeischa blew away the crowd with their outstanding performance. Well done! Unfortunately we didn't win over all but were very pleased to make it to the top three 

A big congratulations to Valentina Yanez Flores who won Best Student Director!!

And a huge congratulations to Maeischa Fox who has been selected to attend the National Shakespeare Schools Production in Wellington. Only one student from the whole festival was selected for this so a massive achievement! Watch this space!
