Quantum Theatre Visit

Last term, Quantum Theatre returned for a third year to give our Year 9 pupils a splendid hour of theatre and music on the First World War.

They performed “Your Country Needs You” which drew on original source material that illustrated the politics behind the outbreak of the war through to the battle of the Somme. They masterfully interwove songs, sketches, poetry and prose to examine the effects of war on those directly involved at home and at the front (both German and British). Pupils thoroughly enjoyed it and it fitted in very well with their history curriculum last term.

A very moving experience and it brought the war to life. I learnt a lot.

It showed the truth about the war that neither side really wanted to fight. 

It gave us an understanding into the 1st World War.

It made me laugh and cry
