On 20 June, the Year 11 Drama class presented Twelve by Duncan Sarkies. This was directed by Sean Millar (Year 13) and produced by Ms Days.

Twelve follows the story of Ed, a 12-year-old boy living in Dunedin in the 1980s, and addresses pre-teen issues that are still relevant today - best mates, first crushes, favourite singers, sports, and family relationships. 

The structure of the play meant that all the actors were on stage all the time and had to play a variety of characters to represent different parts of Ed's life. This requires a high level of commitment to the rehearsal process and to maintaining their character on stage. The boys showed real determination in doing this. 

As a class, being part of this production was a unifying and valuable experience. They all enjoyed being part of the team and the excitement of adding an audience to the performance. 

Overall, a very successful production, and they are looking forward to doing another play next year.
