Sheila Winn Shakespeare Festival by Jamie Moore

Shakespeare Performances

A large group of students competed in the Otago Secondary Schools Sheila Winn Shakespeare Festival in the last week of term. They held a dress rehearsal on Monday 30 March in Manawa Toi Whakaari in front of a large and appreciative audience.

Head of Drama, Sarah Spicer introduced the Student Directed and Teacher Directed pieces from a range of Shakespearean plays including Othello, Macbeth, Hamlet, Measure for Measure and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Jasper Holloway and Reva Grills also performed original musical compositions.

The performances were outstanding and we'll bring you a more detailed report and results from the competition in the next Park Press.
