Another year brought about another exciting opportunity to perform and for the last six months SYT Seniors have been rehearsing for their production of Twelfth Night which show-cased in Theatre Severn on April 22nd and 23rd.
The cast began rehearsals back in October and it was clear from the start that each and every member was loving the role they’d been given. The Christmas holidays meant line-learning time and when rehearsals began again in January some incredible characters began to emerge.
Each year the cast perform to the best of their ability and Twelfth Night was no exception. Krishan Jones gave Duke Orsino an instantly handsome and regal stature, with a voice to match. Chris Eldon Lee attended the dress rehearsal night and wrote that
“There were moments at Shropshire Youth Theatre’s dress rehearsal of ‘Twelfth Night’ when I felt I could almost have been in Stratford.” The review goes on to mention cast members and their beautifully developed characters which came to life even further during the show-nights on Friday and Saturday.
The experience is one which I am sure we will all remember and I myself love every show I perform in with SYT. It’s sad to see it over but I enjoyed every minute of performing with such incredible people. I know none of us can wait until we start rehearsals for next Year’s Performance of The Importance of Being Earnest.
A HUGE “thank you” to everyone who made this years show so special! To name a few: Maggie Love, Lisa Morris, Andrew Bannerman, Beverley Baker, Paul Saunders, Peter Cann and many more.
“Well that’s all one, our play is done,
and we’ll strive to please you every day.”
As well as a scene from A Midsummer Night’s Dream the cast also performed scenes from Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth and Much Ado About Nothing. Members of the public who attended the event enjoyed watching the scenes unfold and SYT Juniors loved taking part in the day.
