Ernie's Incredible Illucinations

9th June 1990

Performed at the Grand Theatre, Swansea, by the school's own production company "Stage Wize".

 

Extract from "The Stage" magazine:

The Stage Wize Company filled the second half of the matinee with a lively production of Alan Ayckbourn's Ernie's Incredible Illucinations. A very humerous production involved more than 150 pupils. It ended in a joyous riot of colour, movement and music.
Only teachers and theatre-folk, perhaps, can fully realise the tremendous amount of dedicated, skilful work which is involved in presenting such a matinee.

Drama is cool . . .

Drama is cool, drama is brill,
I've got a part, what a thrill.
I'm Kid Saracen, the boxer
Who likes to knock your blocker.
My part is hard, my part is tough,
When I get my gloves on, I'm really rough.
The theatre's great,
The atmosphere too,
When it's my chance, I won't get a boo.
I love Drama, isn't it cool.

Aaron Esmonde

Drama is fantastic, Drama's really great,
And when I have a Drama lesson,
I've cause to celebrate.

What's really good about it,
Is you can use your own ideas,
With acts from laughs and dances,
To breaking down in tears.

Our teacher's really funny,
And she really plays her part,
As if she wants to act with me,
And I've liked Drama from the start.
