The students presented a slightly trimmed down version of Assassins — music and libretto by Stephen Sondheim and book by John Weidman.
This darkly comic musical, with its opening and closing showtime numbers acts almost as a parody of the traditional Broadway singalong.
The young performers also did their own shortened version of Cabaret — the acclaimed musical set in the seedy Kit Kat Club in Berlin during the late 1930s. Concentrating on the debauchery and the rise of fascism Year 13 A2 Drama Group focussed on the parallel between the Kit Kat Club and the tension created by the Nazis outside of it.
