The Rector's Company
National Shakespeare Schools Production
In the first week of the holidays, two of our students, Eli Hancock and
Jacob Waugh will be attending the National Shakespeare Schools Production in
Dunedin, under the auspices of the University of Otago and Shakespeare’s Globe
Centre New Zealand (SGCNZ). Eli and Jacob will be working with professional
directors and other students selected from the SGCNZ Sheilah Winn National
Festival held in June. There will be performances on October 7th and 8th,
(tickets available through Evenfinda). https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/2022/shakespeare-globe-centre-new-zealand-nssp-performances-2022/dunedin
After these performances students will be selected for the Young Shakespeare Company tour to the Globe Theatre in London, and we wish Eli and Jacob a successful outcome.
Sheilah Winn Regional Festival 2023
In the first weeks of Term 4 we begin our preparations for the next year’s Shakespeare Festivals. The Rector’s Company will enter again, and any students who would like to participate, and possibly follow in Eli and Jacob’s footsteps should make themselves known to Mr. Mills. Existing members of the company are assumed to be interested.
Shakespeare Production 2023
The production of Much Ado About Nothing that was postponed from last year will run at the end of term 2, 2023. More information will be provided at the beginning of term 4 this year.
