Calderdale Theatre School - Theatre Night

24th March 2012

Once again I was privileged to be invited to a wonderful evening of entertainment from young Performers in our area.

The Calderdale Theatre School held two productions of 'Cuba' and the 'The Queen must Die'.

The performances were by young people between 11 and 16 and were truly fantastic.

The first show, Cuba, was set in the 50's at the height of the Cuban Crisis and the performers really gave realism to the fear at the time of that conflict. The performance gave a refection  of the fear at the time and wrapped with some humour it was a super show, well done to all the Actors.

The Queen Must Die was set at the time of the Queens 50th Jubilee. The performers had the audience in stitches with the antics of an anti Monarch group and girls who planned to 'behead' a paper mache statue of the queen. Of course in the end they all came to appreciate the Queen and the play fits well with this years celebration of the Queen's 60 years serving Great Britain.

 Like many of the audience I was in tears with laughter at the excellent comedy the young Actors produced. Well done once again to all those involved in the excellent performance !!.

Highly recommended
