Tickets are only on sale direct from the Brewhouse and are going fast.
12. “Flash Gordon”
Help Wanted! The Drama department's next major performance project will be our own adaptation of the 1930's comic strip adventures of "Flash Gordon." At the moment we have a script and interest from a lot of pupils but we do not have anyone willing and able to take on the responsibility for costume design. The project will perform in the early spring and at the moment will go ahead in jeans and t-shirts unless we can find someone willing to say "I accept that challenge!" If anyone thinks they might be able to rise to the challenge then please contact Mr Mitchell via the school office.
