The Year 7 plays being performed this week are three short performances of Sherlock Holmes’ adventures, “The Reigate Squires, The Blue Carbuncle and the Second Stain”. This puts Moulsford in the enviable position of having not one but three Sherlocks! The same applies for Dr. Watson, Mrs. Hudson, Inspector Lestrade and so on. As with the Lion King last year, we are keen that as many boys as possible get the opportunity to take on a significant role. These are complex plays with a lot of narrative, and I have been extremely impressed by the application, engagement and buy-in from the boys. The skills they have learnt in both the rehearsals and the performances themselves will prove invaluable.
My thanks go to the many staff who have been involved in the production, specifically to: Miss Roberts, Mrs. Betts and Mrs. Tollett for all their work on the costumes; Miss Roberts, Mr. Clements and Madame Tattevin who produced the most amazing set, the majority of which was constructed at half term or over the weekends; and to Mr Edwards, assisted by Mrs Squire, who have directed the boys so well, and had the belief in Year 7 to know that they would rise to the challenge.
