“Lucy has low self esteem and confidence when speaking in large groups, to see her performing on stage and enjoying a subject such as this, is incredible. We are so proud of her and amazed at the work Drama Direct has done.”

Mrs Whymark: ‘I thought the topic of Socrates would be interesting for Jack but also challenging. He found the script and the association to history really exciting and thinks it will help him with his schools work next term as they are studying Greek Mythology!’

Mr Elliot: “Katherine has a strong interest in the performing arts, but found the Gadfly week, and working with professional actors and Drama Direct a huge learning curve. The work was professional, thought-provoking and something which should be shared in school throughout the year!”
