Ernie's Incredible Illucinations

Friday night saw a Hertford Hall audience seated expectantly, waiting for the Key Stage 3 play, Ernie's Incredible Illucinations. The "warm-up" act was stunning: Year 11 girls performing their their exam pieces, including their own choreographed performances. These were a mermaid’s sea dance, and the very moving chase, and final capture, of a gazelle by a lio

ness. The audience loved these, as they did the very funny, well rehearsed and beautifully performed play, which is perfect for students of all ages, and I believe that the East Sheen Primary children who saw it in the afternoon enjoyed it immensely too. Some quotes from the cast of Ernie's:
"I first got into Drama in Year 7 after my first Drama lesson..I am hoping to do Drama as a GCSE as I love to perform and amuse other people". (Jason B, Year 9)

"I play a German officer, a barker and a tramp. I hope to be involved in more drama productions in the future". (Leonardo S, Year 7)
"I do Stage Coach outside of school and I am hoping to go on the casting agency list...When I am older, I would like to work in film". (Robson K, Year 9)
"I love Drama and want to have a professional career in it when I am older. I have been in three Shene performances now!" (Karmele B, Year 8)
"Even though I don't want a career in acting, I still want to try my best to leave this school with memories of participating in the wonderful 'Ernie's Incredible Illucinations!" (Gurmit K, Year 9)
