Shakespeare Success!

Jo Harford —

Our thespians achieved great success at yesterday's University of Otago Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival.

Congratulations to our superb actors and to Mr McKenzie who have worked tirelessly this term to create two pieces, both of which received accolades from the judges. 

This is the 2nd year in a row that we have won the 15 minute teacher-directed scene and 5 minute student-directed scene. 

Last year there was no national festival due to COVID so we look forward to showing the piece to students from all over New Zealand at this year's festival in Wellington.

Winner of the 15 minute teacher-directed

Romeo + Juliet - directed by Mr McKenzie

Stage Presence Award to Daniel Honey for his two performances as Tybalt (in the 15 minute scene) and Nurse (in the 5 minute scene) in Romeo + Juliet

Best Realisation of Text Award for the 5 minute student-directed Romeo + Juliet. Directed and acted by Zac Bell, Daniel Honey and Cullan Rolton

Best Stage Fight Award for the Romeo and Juliet 15 minute scene.
