Charlie Pilgrim (or The Beginner’s Guide To Time Travel)
Year 7-8 Production
Have you ever wanted to change the past? Charlie Pilgrim has. And with the prototype of her time machine – The Mobius – ready for a test run, she was hoping to get her chance.

Unfortunately, starting up the machine has accidentally created a closed time loop that adds a new Charlie every twenty-four hours. With the population rising and group dynamics coming into play, things go from Interstellar to Lord of the Flies pretty fast. To save her soul, and prevent the universe from collapsing under the weight of a mounting series of mind-bending paradoxes, Charlie is forced to do battle with herself.

Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville. A Sherlock Holmes Mystery
Year 9-10 Production
27-29 August
Get your deerstalker cap on – the play’s afoot!
Comedic genius Ken Ludwig transforms Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic The Hound of the Baskervilles into a murderously funny adventure.
Sherlock Holmes is on the case. The male heirs of the Baskerville line are being dispatched one by one. To find their ingenious killer, Holmes and Watson must brave the desolate moors before a family curse dooms its newest heir. Watch as our intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than forty characters.
Does a wild hellhound prowl the moors of Devonshire? Can our heroes discover the truth in time? Join the fun and see how far from elementary the truth can be.

Roald Dahl lovers will enjoy our comical Years 5-6 Production of Fantastic Mr Fox adapted by Sally Reid.
18–20 June

"Boggis and Bunce and Bean
One fat, one short, one lean
These horrible crooks
So different in looks
Were nonetheless equally mean."

And so begins another enchanting Roald Dahl tale concerning the extraordinary adventures of three nasty farmers, two curious creatures, a family of foxes, and our hero — a most fantastic fellow! Your audience will be fascinated as they watch Boggis, the (enormously fat!) chicken farmer; Bunce, the (pot-bellied dwarf) duck-and-goose farmer; and Bean, the (thin) turkey-and-apple farmer, attempt to foil the efforts of Mr. Fox and his friends — the Badgers, the Moles, the Rabbits and the Weasels.
And then, of course, they'll be held in suspense as the animals unwittingly trap themselves in Bean's Secret Cider Cellar — much to the displeasure of Rat (a rude creature) and all appear doomed. In the end, they'll cheer as Mr. Fox provides a glorious feast for each and every one — and gives rise to Mrs. Fox's proclamation that "My husband is one fantastic fox!" Certainly this show is lively and suspenseful and we're sure you will also find it a whole lot of fun!

Under Milk Wood
30 April, 1-2 May 2026
Our Senior Drama students kick off our production season with Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas.
Commissioned by the BBC, and described by Dylan Thomas as 'a play for voices', Under Milk Wood takes the form of an emotive and hilarious account of a spring day in the fictional Welsh seaside village of Llareggub. We learn of the inhabitants' dreams and desires, their loves and regrets. The play introduces us to characters such as Captain Cat who dreams of his drowned former seafellows and Nogood Boyo who dreams of nothing at all. It is a unique and touching depiction of a village that has 'fallen head over bells in love'.
The First Voice narration reveals the ordinary world of daily happenings and events, while the Second Voice conveys the intimate, innermost thoughts of the fascinating folk of Llareggub.

The Senior Drama Production is almost here. Hedda Gabler is trapped in a world where gender and class dictate her every move, she plays games with the lives of others in the hope of having ‘power over someone else’s destiny’. Grappling with topics such as gun violence, betrayal and coercion, Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler showcases her wit, manipulation and ultimate tragedy. The 2025 Senior Drama production brings this play to life in refreshed 1950s setting in which women can sense the promise of agency that is to come but is still frustratingly beyond reach. This production is for mature audiences.


7pm TB Millar Hall
17th, 18th, 24th and 25th October.
