In February 2008 Charles Darwin School performed their version of 'Return to the Forbidden Planet’, an all singing all dancing musical based on Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’, featuring rock and roll numbers and ballads from the 50s and 60s.
Over 100 students and many staff were involved in this school production – acting, dancing, singing, performing in the band, lighting, media, sound, set, props, backstage, costumes, make-up, front of house, ticket/programme design and publicity. It really was a huge team effort and the benefits of participating in such a large project, requiring co-operation, collaboration, reliability, tenacity, commitment, determination and trust, will be felt by everyone involved, long after we have stopped humming the songs!
