“Shake It Up Shakespeare” was the next drama on the docket and was written and directed by Mary Quirke of Qwerkreation Productions.
It was a comic spin on the ever-famous Shakespeare plays. Romeo, Juliet, Othello, Puck, Lysander and more were brought to life once again with a fresh twist.
The actors completely dedicated themselves to portraying their often-foolish characters and this made the viewing experience a complete wonder.
This drama was presented with both the “Best Comedy” and “Runner’s Up” award at the tense final presentation ceremony.
The students celebrated accordingly with a music party and a photo blitz with the hard-won trophies.
