From the Hilarious to the Bizarre

Written mostly by the pupils with some input from members of staff, this year’s dramatic offering from the Senior Literary Society took the form of a sketch show staged in Beldam Hall.

Comprising a heady mixture of the hilarious, the dark and the downright bizarre, audiences on the two nights were treated to a variety of intelligent and well-written material showcasing the literary and dramatic talent which is to be found at Repton. Among the twenty sketches were a witty exploration of the language of rap, a moving piece about schizophrenia, a wry take on the Stockholm Syndrome, a parody of the middle class and daytime talk shows, a defence of headlice, a satire on French Surrealist Poetry, and a poem about Hell as seen from a clubber’s perspective.

Enjoyed by pupils, parents and staff alike, it was a thoroughly entertaining evening.
