On Wednesday 16th November, the English department took 60 Year 11 students to see the award-winning Stephen Daldry production of An Inspector Calls at the Theatre Royal in Brighton. The students were intrigued by the iconic and unusual set design as well as being enthralled by one of their key GCSE Literature texts being brought to life by the captivating cast; they were even perceptively critical when some of the characters’ lines did not match those of the original Priestley text! Despite the torrential rain, the students’ behaviour was exemplary throughout the trip, both en route and during the performance. We look forward to running many more English trips in the future.
