The first joint Senior Production in two years took place in the Amey Theatre where students from Abingdon and St Helen and St Katharine wowed audiences with their spine-chilling rendition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. In this version, adapted by Rona Munro, the author was put at the very heart of the action as a character in the piece, constructing the story as it played out. Directed by Mr Phillips, Frankenstein was fast paced, dynamic and featured one or two jump scares both delighting, and terrifying, the audience. The technical team, led by Mr Lloyd, used eerie sound design and special effects including pyrotechnics to bring the chilling atmosphere to life within the multi-level set. It was evident the cast and crew had a fantastic time putting together what was a truly first class performance.
