A fantastic day

What a great day we had when Sir Nicholas Hytner came back to school to open the new drama centre which, as Chairman of our campaign fund, he had done so much to make possible.  Check photos of the day here ('Nick Hytner Day').

Fresh from the tour opening of his Hamlet, starring Rory Kinnear, at the Lowry, he gave an audience of sixth formers from MGS and neighbouring schools a detailed account of how such a production comes together.  You can see a video of his talk here.

In the afternoon he answered with great patience seemingly endless questions from members of a Junior School Assembly audience, before working sympathetically through a series of Shakespeare scenes with our Year 11 GCSE Drama set.

All in all, a wonderful day.
