The Three Scrooges - Starburst Drama Club
03/04/19The Starburst steampunk production which was written and directed by Mrs Samways was a great success. Last week, the children performed ‘The Three Scrooges’ to KS1 on Tuesday and KS2 on Wednesday, followed by an evening performance to an audience of 90.
With popular songs, jokes and unusual staging this production showcased the incredible talents we have at South Borough Primary School. This steampunk production based on Charles Dickens, ‘A Christmas Carol’ even had some spooky spirits, one of which appeared on a steam-powered TV. This was all thanks to Cheeky George Productions, who turned Alan in Year 3 into Marlie, The Three Scrooges old band mate, haunting every channel.
Brooke in Year 6, Nathaniel and Amy both in Year 5 gave heart-warming solo singing performances leaving many of the audience in tears. All the cast sported steampunk make-up thanks to Mrs Hunt and had glittery colours put in their hair thanks to Mrs Nevis.
One Grandparent said, "I loved everything about the performance from the sound effects, songs and acting." One parent said, "Every year drama club gets better and better. Having two stages was amazing. I don't know how they're going to top this one." Another parent said, "I can’t wait to see the next production. The Three Scrooges was fantastic."
