PHOTO GALLERY: Wickersley School takes Shakespeare to Ibiza

TAKE a Shakespearean classic, mix in a 1950s holiday camp and top it off with a taste of a supernatural Ibizan beach party from the future.

What do you have? The comical and up-to-date version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream performed by students from Wickersley School to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death.

Wickersley School’s head of drama, Adam Hart, dreamed up the curious concoction, to the delight of parents and other audience members at the school on Friday, July 8 as part of the nationwide Shakespeare 400 celebrations.

Hayley Partington, Clerical Officer for Creative Arts and Technology at Wickersley, said: “We also combined the event with a few musicals that we here at Wickersley and our partnering schools Rawmarsh and Clifton recently performed to sell out audiences. “Rawmarsh performed Greece, Clifton performed Little Shop of Horrors and Wickersley ended the event with Lion King.

“The students also put on a number of Pieces from their A level drama exams.”
