School Frenzy Drama Project

Duration: Academic Year 2008-9

What it is: 
A collaboration between The Egg Theatre at the Theatre Royal, Bath, Norton Hill School and selected primary schools, to put on a performance at The Egg in the summer.

What happens:
The project has two stages. The first involves taking part in 14 performance-based workshops in their schools. The second stage will involve the two secondary schools each working with three primaries to produce a play (from an existing script) for performance at the Egg, the Theatre Royal’s theatre for children and young people.

Benefits:
This project aims to ease the transition from primary to secondary school as pupils and teachers take part, together. It also enhances children’s speaking and listening skills, builds self-confidence and inspires children to take an interest in drama and the theatre.
