Upper School Students Perform No Particular Order
Fifteen students from Years 11 and 12 took on the challenge of presenting fifteen standalone scenes from No Particular Order, creating an anthology-style production that brought Joel Tan’s thought-provoking political drama to life.
Director in Residence Miss Carter said the play was a valuable opportunity for students to engage with “a more modern piece of writing”. She added that its themes focus on “ordinary people living through extraordinary circumstances”, encouraging students to explore questions of power and empathy.
No Particular Order charts the fate of a society living under an authoritarian ruler and asks whether empathy or power ultimately proves more enduring. The play was shortlisted for both the Theatre503 International Playwriting Award and the 2022 George Devine Award following its premiere at Theatre503 in London.
The production was supported behind the scenes by the technical crew who, since returning from half term, worked hard to create the set and props as well as managing the sound and lighting throughout the performance.
Congratulations to all the students and staff involved in bringing this ambitious production to the stage.
