Gosforth’s Fête was performed brilliantly to appreciative audiences...

The Juniors began rehearsing in the Spring Term just after half term, having been cast before the break. Lines were learned quickly, which made the rehearsal process smooth and enjoyable for all. Although a short one-act play, Gosforth’s Fête requires skill: sharp comic timing, energy, physicality, the navigation of prop heavy scenes and excellent concentration for the denouement. The small cast rose to the challenge admirably and realised the comic potential in the writing even in the first read-through.

Introducing the props injected rehearsals with extra excitement, as we worked out how to use the microphones, tea urn and hundreds of cups and biscuits! Thankfully, the cast and crew peaked at the right time, delivering two strong, slick performances to appreciative audiences. The cast and crew have been a pleasure to work with throughout rehearsal and performance. I very much look forward to seeing them on stage and in the theatre again soon.
