Drama
In 2007, an ensemble of students performed a 30 minute adaptation of William Shakespeare's Othello as part of the annual Shakespeare Schools Festival in February of that year. Their performance was widely acclaimed by the local organisers for both the quality of the acting, and the adaptation techniques of resetting the play during a modern gangland situation.
Students from Years 8-10 participated in Darke Visions, a tribute to local playwright Nick Darke in January 2010, performing an improvised piece written by a Sixth Form student, at the Hall for Cornwall alongside contributions from other secondary schools from across the county.

Famous quotes containing the word drama:
“My faith is the grand drama of my life. I’m a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colours for those who see none.”
—Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992)
“We live between two worlds; we soar in the atmosphere; we creep upon the soil; we have the aspirations of creators and the propensities of quadrupeds. There can be but one explanation of this fact. We are passing from the animal into a higher form, and the drama of this planet is in its second act.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
“Our true history is scarcely ever deciphered by others. The chief part of the drama is a monologue, or rather an intimate debate between God, our conscience, and ourselves. Tears, griefs, depressions, disappointments, irritations, good and evil thoughts, decisions, uncertainties, deliberations—all these belong to our secret, and are almost all incommunicable and intransmissible, even when we try to speak of them, and even when we write them down.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
