Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast

Saturday 17th July 2010 saw the end of a spectacular 3 night run of Pleckgate's latest production 'Beauty and the Beast'.  After months of preparation, the casts' commitment to lunchtime, after school and even half term rehersals paid off.                                              

The audience watched in awe as the tale of Belle (Lauren Quinn 10LP) and the Beast (Faheem Mahmood 9APA) unfolded.  The supporting cast made up of enchanted furniture and villagers also displayed many other skills in addition to their superb acting such as singing, dancing and even improvising around technical issues.  Particular credit must go to Idris Hussain (9WCL), Alex Baron (7GS), Curtis Chesterton (7HOC) and Alex Johnson (7GS) for portraying their feminine roles in such a subtle and realsitic manner!

Aside from the commitment of the cast, a wide range of staff contributed to the success of the 3 performances.  The production team would like to express their many thanks and appreciation for their continued support.

Here's to an even more successful performance next year which will be the last production to take place in the current school building.

'This is what school life is about; young people and staff working together, enjoying themselves, resulting in a superb effort.  Well done to all!
