We have been lucky enough to secure the exceptional talent that is renowned actor and performance educator Antoinette Sampson, for a six-week acting intensive course.

For six weeks in term two, Highlanders will have the unique opportunity to tap into Antoinette’s deep understanding of the craft and tap into the Fundamentals of Acting. The course will focus on the four core principles of acting: Character Development and Personalisation (Who am I?); Given Circumstances (Where am I? When am I?); Super Objective and Objective (What do I want?); and Status and Action (How do I get what I want?). This will culminate with a performance workshop to showcase what you’ve learned to friends and family.

It is the night before Meg’s wedding. She and her bridesmaids are planning to kick up their heels as the final hours before the big day tick down. However, not everything goes to plan as a last-minute scandal threatens to ruin the whole affair. Elizabeth Coleman’s wonderful characters bring this seriously funny play to life. Never far from reality, it exposes the insanity that can be created as the wedding juggernaut threatens to swerve out of control.

Marriage may be a wonderful thing, but after a night like this, well, could it really be worth it?
