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:
“Show me one thing here on earth which has begun well and not ended badly. The proudest palpitations are engulfed in a sewer, where they cease throbbing, as though having reached their natural term: this downfall constitutes the heart’s drama and the negative meaning of history.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
“The popular definition of tragedy is heavy drama in which everyone is killed in the last act, comedy being light drama in which everyone is married in the last act.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
