Touring Theatre Captivate at Queensway with 'The Secret Garden'

M & M Productions recently visited Queensway to present a captivating performance of 'The Secret Garden' for students. Their engaging adaptation brought the classic story to life with vibrant storytelling, expressive acting, and immersive staging that kept our young audience enthralled. The children thoroughly enjoyed cheering and laughing throughout the performance, which provided them with a valuable experience of both music and drama.

Following the performance, the company conducted an interactive drama workshop, allowing students to explore key themes and characters through creative activities. The workshop encouraged participation, confidence-building, and teamwork, giving students a hands-on experience of theatrical storytelling.

This experience helped to widen the children’s understanding of literature, performance, and storytelling, enriching their appreciation of the arts. For Year 5 students, the performance also linked closely to their English learning, particularly in developing comprehension, character analysis, and narrative structure. Engaging with a live adaptation of a classic novel helped to reinforce their understanding of storytelling techniques and themes, making their learning more immersive and memorable.

The visit was an excellent opportunity for all students to experience the magic of live theatre, leaving a lasting impact on their creativity and enthusiasm for drama and literature.
