Chigwell School Senior School Play 'Arabian Nights'
The Chigwell School Senior School Play, the Royal Shakespeare Company version of 'Arabian Nights', was performed to packed houses on Thursday and Friday.
With a large cast on stage throughout the production, with actors sitting below an enormous, billowing Arab tent, this was an exciting experience for the audience.
Stories, obviously based on the famous 'Thousand and One Nights', were enacted in an often boisterous, physical way after the heroine, played by Shanaiya Pithiya, started the story.
The cast of 30 students multi-roled, danced and played instruments to create a wonderful story-telling experience for all ages.
Apart from the technical expertise evident in the changes of lighting and sound effects a particular strength was the use of live music played by members of the cast.
The school's Director of Drama, Joe Maingot, said: "It all made for a highly entertaining and enjoyable theatrical experience.
"This was a fast paced, physical comedy and the cast created a magnificent spell-binding evening for all ages to enjoy. Well done to all involved!"
