Quantum Theatre

Yesterday saw the return of the outstanding performance company, Quantum Theatre, to the Academy's theatre, to inspire another cohort of Year 11 English students with a production of Charles Dickens’ classic novella, A Christmas Carol. The company tours nationally with adaptations of classic texts.

It was a faithful and energetic interpretation of the text, bringing the characters to life, and conveying its timeless themes. The humour in the performance was enjoyed by students and staff alike, and the Year 11 group engaged well and conducted themselves perfectly.

A Christmas Carol forms a key component of the students' GCSE English Literature curriculum, and the production helped deepen their understanding and appreciation of the text.
