Senior Production

The senior production is regarded by many of our children as one of the highest points of their time at the Prep School. There is great competition for roles in the show and a huge amount of work goes into the final production. The children are given the opportunity to be in the cast, work backstage, with the lighting crew or front of house on performance nights. All of this means that a staggering proportion of our senior children will be involved in the production in one way or another.

2008 saw Brighton College Prep School stage the spectacular historical musical 'Drake'. Set in the court of Elizabeth 1, the musical chronicles the adventures of its eponymous hero, set against a colourful back-drop of conspiracy, corruption and even romance! The musical demanded a huge cast and the stage was continually populated by Elizabeth and her courtiers, Drake and his seafaring pirates as well as comic characters such as the dashing Sir Walter Raleigh and his treasured female companions from the new world. The cast would the audience with Renaissance lute songs as well as repertoire redolent of the 1920's jazz era. With spectacular visual effects, a fantastic musical score performed by pupils and professional musicians and wonderful choreographed numbers, the audience were treated to a fantastic show. The year 7 and 8 cast performed fantastically and brought the stage alive with their energy, enthusiasm and talent.
