This bonus blog was sent by Chris...who I think holds the record for being the youngest contributors...he's certainly one of them anyway...thank you Chris...
Okay Yew Tree have asked me to write a blog about the Shakespeare festival, so here we go!
No rain and bright sunshine made it a perfect weekend for a picnic at Clarke Hall. Loads of great performances that weekend but I've been told to focus on one. The Tempest, which was performed by the Purple Company and extremely well directed by Gemma, Sam and Stacey.
It's mostly a piece of physical theatre although there are the odd lines here and there starting off with the boat scene we create the illusion of a storm while a few people deliver lines. As the ship is about to crash screams are heard as the boat formation begins to disassemble and different pieces of physical theatre come to life until the performance ends with an epilogue.
I believe Clarke Hall was the perfect venue for the Shakespeare festival as the settings used were just right for the plays performed. It was a delight to see so many people enjoying the house and grounds being used in such an ideal manner.
I thoroughly enjoyed being part of the festival and i was genuinely proud to be a Yew Tree member as the plays were
presented as Shakespeare himself would have enjoyed.
I would also like to thank all Yew Tree members and staff for all their hard work and dedication.
