Tell me, muse, of the St Bart’s trip to Greece! The A Level students of Classical Civilisation and some guests from other subjects embarked on a PanHellenic Odyssey of Epic proportions. We went to Athens, seeing the theatres, Acropolis and museums, along with the prison of Socrates, ancient Agora, and finally made our own Greek comedy/tragedy masks and watched a performance of Aristophanes’ comedies.

MFL Theatre Productions

Published 18 March 2024

On Wednesday 28 February and Thursday 7 March we had the pleasure of welcoming an MFL specialist theatre company called Onatti. This company performs plays in French, German and Spanish, suitable for beginners and immediate level learners. The play we saw in German was called ‘Der Babysitter’ which tells the funny story of a babysitter agreeing to allow her ex boyfriend to come and help her but after an argument she walks out leaving the teenager in charge of the baby. In some of the scenes, the actors even invited the students to participate. This is what Matilda in Year 10 had to say about the event.
