Secondary school pupils have attended a London theatre as part of an educational trip.
The group of students, aged 11 to 18-years-old, from West Hatch High School in High Road, Chigwell, attended the Globe Theatre in London on Friday to watch a performance of Shakespeare’s, Othello.
The production, which was described by pupils as "powerful" was a shortened version of the play specially created for the all-student audience.
Year 8 student Folusho Bello said: “Othello is a play based on romance and tragedy but in my opinion Othello is a complicated play to understand however the performance was excellent, the actors and actresses were very loud, clear and powerful.
“Compared to other Shakespeare plays such as Romeo and Juliet, which we are currently studying, I like Othello a lot better because in Othello I feel there are more exciting and dramatic scenes.”
Year 12 student Josie Creatini said: “Having heard 'Othello' to be quite a complex play in my opinion, after having seen this performance, I believe the actors interpretation was entertaining and easy for all to understand."
