BEST SELLING AUTHOR WRITES SCRIPT FOR GREENFIELDS THEATRE COMPANY

As some will know, Greenfields School has its own registered Theatre Company which produces and performs a play during the school's GALA weekend at the end of every summer term. Provided academic targets have been achieved, all the senior children are invited to participate and are allowed to take over the school under supervision from the drama department.

Students handle the many facets that a full-scale theatre production involves including public relations, marketing, finance, stage management, lighting, sound, props and scenery, costume making and of course singing, acting and dancing.

July 2014 will see an extra special performance by the GTC as the script 'COMEDY OF TERRORS' has been written for the school by friend of the school, and best-selling author ROGER ELLORY whose works include best sellers such as ‘A Quiet Belief in Angels’, ‘The Saints of New York’, 'Bad Signs' and 'A Dark and Broken Heart'.

Mr Ellory himself is due to attend one of the performances and also to tour the school and meet some of the actors and production team and is reportedly looking forward to seeing his work, for the first time, as a play.
