Come and see the THREE Constantia Class 12 plays.
They are all entertaining. They take place in Jamaica, Trinidad, Russia and England’s Bath.
You will experience three different tongue twisting languages.
Just come to the school and enjoy an evening full of laughter. (Clara)

The play rehearsals are going full steam ahead at the moment, numerous running lessons, after-school practices and even week-end practices.
Although there’s a lot of stress at the moment, I feel things are going well.
Please come and support us.

“Only after puberty is the pupil able to represent on stage a personality totally different to himself. The new experience can bring about what young people especially need, namely the ability to participate in the destiny of others to such an extent that now and again they may forget their own personal problems.”
Education towards freedom

The Cherry Orchard - Anton Chekov

“The Cherry Orchard” is a poignant play full of comical love, family, tragedy, sadness and hope. It is staged in Russia when Russia is on the brink of its revolution and manages to show the loss of an old age and the hope for the new. (Ruskin)

The cherry orchard is an emotional journey with diverse characters and a heart wrenching story. A tragic comedy with laughter and tears around every corner, the Cherry orchard offers an unforgettable experience. (Ruby)

 

The Moon on a rainbow shawl - Errol John

A funny, Sad and gripping story of family, relationships, love and tragedies all with a Trinidadian twist and a gripping ending. (Chesney)

Set in the sweltering slums of Trinidad, we experience the pursuit of freedom and happiness through the struggles of everyday life. In our play we see a community of diverse characters who are all striving for a better future, while over coming the own personal obstacles.

We see Ephram a young man who is faced with the decision to stay in Trinidad or to follow his dreams.

Rosa has a secret… Sophia, elbows deep in washing trying to support a family and keep a marriage from falling apart while her husband Charlie yearns fro a lost life.

“There’s no hiding place down here, there’s no hiding place down here, I went to the rocks to hide myself, the rock cried out, ‘I’m hiding too…’, there’s no hiding place down here.” (Shophia’s Song)

 

The Rivals - Richard Brindsley Sheridan

Julia - is hopelessly in love with Fauckland, but this love she feels has only ever cost her many unhappy moments and thousands of tears. Can she forgive his greatest mistake? Or will she (finally) leave him for happiness? (Gabrielle)

“The Rivals” is a gripping play of love, pain deception and disastrously misused phrases!

“The Rivals” is very entertaining. It is a comic and passionate play about love complicated by varying personalities. It is full of intense interaction between characters in scenarios entwined with the struggle for freedom, justice and authority. (Stephan)
