Frantic Assembly’s Othello

On Wednesday 2nd November, Year 9 students were invited to the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford to watch a production of Shakespeare’s “Othello”, which is being studied by many students in English. The production was performed by renowned theatre company, Frantic Assembly, who are also famous for shows such as “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” and “Pool, No Water”. Frantic Assembly is a GCSE Drama practitioner and also studied in Year 9 Drama lessons. Students were amazed by the physical interaction of the characters that helped to support communication of character emotion and relationships. We were even lucky enough to bump into Welsh-born performer Matthew Trevannion, who played Brabantio and Ludovico, after the show.
