Shakespeare's Women







On Monday afternoon, March 16h, Years 11 and 12 Drama students together with Years 9 and 10 English students viewed a professional production held after school in the College Hall, presented by the Qld Arts Council, entitled "Shakespeare's Women". The production was a humorous look at how William Shakespeare positioned women in his famous play texts, thus representing the mainstream views and attitudes of Elizabethan society towards women. The production was lively, fast-paced and entertaining for our contemporary world.

Had a nice relaxed hour watching "Shakespeare's Women" on Monday. Haven't had much contact with Shakespeare since my school days,many moons ago.It was a very clever play .I didn't get some of it but parts of macbeth did come flashing back. When the cast started dancing and singing the students lifted their interests and fully got involved. The student behind me saw the funny side of everything and was constantly laughing. It was well adapted to meet the needs of the younger generation. The blonde actress was very powerful and willy was hilarious. Thanks for inviting the parents to watch. It is good to see what is happening at school and have a break from our routine too .I could tell the girls all enjoyed it and could relate to it . Well done. From Pat
