Shakespeare performers on their way to Wellington! 

Jo Harford —

On Thursday night, Mr McKenzie and his troop of actors took their show to the Shakespeare Sheilah Winn Festival and won the 15 minute Teacher-Directed section. Max Beal, who played Richard III won the local Best Actor Award.

This is a great achievement for the students and Mr McKenzie who all worked extremely hard to create an original, tight performance that wowed the audience. Overall, the quality of performances from schools all over Otago was very high and we were up against some tough competition. 

All actors did a superb job and, as mentioned above, Max Beal was stunning in his portrayal of Richard III. 

Congratulations boys. 

Time to start making cheese rolls....
