An Inspector Calls Theatre Trip

 

This term the English Department took one of the largest groups, 200 Year 11 and Year 10 students to be exact, to the Wycombe Swan Theatre to watch a live performance of the examination text ‘An Inspector Calls’.

The trip, which took place during the afternoon and after school, gave the students the rare opportunity to be able to watch a live theatre performance, bringing to life a text they will soon be writing about in an examination. The English staff thoroughly enjoyed listening to comments from the students, such as, “The house falling apart scared the life out of me, but I get it. It was supposed to be metaphorical!” and “Watching it made it so much easier for the exam.” The comments show how valuable theatre trips are, they enhance students’ understanding of a play.

The GMS staff were impressed with the maturity and impeccable conduct of the students. Consequently, the English Department will be looking forward to organising another theatre soon!
