Period drama rehearsals underway at Georgian House
Under the guidance of drama professionals, Karen McKenzie (Illuminate U.K.) and Frances Paterson, pupils from Holyrood High School have begun their on-site rehearsals for ‘Scenes from a Georgian House’. As part of their Advanced Higher Drama curriculum, pupils must write, direct and act in short plays which they have created themselves. These short plays are based on a theme, in this case Heritage, and are devised to reflect personal reading and investigation.
