During The Kings School Robin Hills house plays, students left everything on stage, including good music, dance, drama, comedy, and so on, for their parents and teachers who came to show support.
Students from both high school and primary school participated in the play productions. The plays from all three households, Judah, Israel, and Zion, were written and directed by students. They put impressive twists on classic fairy tale stories to keep audience members entertained.
The Judah House put out the play Peter Pan and the Fairest of Them All. Peter Pan and Tinker Bell set out from Johannesburg to rescue Wendy and protect Neverland’s enchanted secrets.
The Israel house impressed the judges and were the winners with Kristella the South Africanised rendition of the beloved fairy tale Cinderella. The learners brought it home with the dance moves and changing the prince to DJ, Prince Kaybee.
The Zion house performed Who Framed Roger Rabbit? – a play that takes place during a time when cartoons and humans coexist.
Learner Josh Newel, who wrote and directed the Judah house play, stated that he saw creating a play as a fascinating challenge and an opportunity to improve his writing abilities.
“It was a process for everybody to adapt to my script, but as time went by and doing it on stage, that’s where everyone saw that it was coming together nicely and they started to enjoy it.”
He went on to say that the hardest part was coming up with ideas for the play, and that it was difficult to find something that would work.
