1st Runners Up – Royal Drama Competition 2018
Comprising a cast of 35 actors, this play was a critique of the present day education system set in an imaginatively constructed video game world.
Devised through an intensive period of four weeks, the play was light in tone but deep in message, humorous but thought provoking, and featured many choreographed group elements as well as well crafted individual performances.
The semi-finals performance saw Ananda enter into the finals of this competition for yet another year. At the finals, Ananda emerged 1st Runners Up, with Methodist College emerging victorious with another original performance. Ananda won the award for best backstage management.
