“All the World’s a Stage” for Bell Shakespeare Trio

Earlier today, Josh, Meg and Triona from Sydney’s Bell Shakespeare company visited PLHS as part of their regional tour. The accomplished and energetic trio delivered two engaging performances to our appreciative students during the day.

The first show was presented to our Year 10 English and Year 9 Pantomime students as an introduction to The Bard’s work; the second involved our Year 11 English and Year 12 English Literary Studies students and featured more sophisticated themes. Mrs. Marks’ Year 10 and Senior Drama classes were lucky to catch both performances. The shows were not presented as whole plays-in-full, but a compilation of famous scenes and key moments from Shakespeare’s plays and the world he lived in.

Bell Shakespeare’s visit was well timed to support our students in their studies of Shakespeare this semester; all in attendance should be commended on their excellent audience skills.

We thank Josh, Meg and Triona for their talented and lively productions today – they certainly assisted our students to understand that ‘all the world’s a stage’.
