English literature group like Jekyll & Hyde

Priory's GCSE English Literature pupils enjoyed a performance of ‘Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde’.  The visiting theatre group, Ginificent, delivered a stage production and Q&A workshop to Year 10 and 11 pupils who are studying the Stevenson classic.  

 

Ginificent commented that the questions put forward by Priory pupils were the most intelligent and challenging of all the questions they have been asked through their tour so far.  

 

The touring company was chosen for their production being true to the book and has been specifically produced to support GCSE English.  

 

Their visit follows on from a performance in December of ‘A Christmas Carol’.

 

Mrs Elliott, English Teacher who organised the productions,  said: “The theatre performance will help the texts come to life for the pupils; watching a play helps to remember the key character traits, plots summary and discover other things they may have missed when reading the book”.
