Report on Hitchin Girls' School Production of 'Frogs'
Senior Classics Society Production
In March the Senior Classics Society (including sixth formers from Hitchin Boys School as well as HGS) staged an adapted production of Aristophanes’ play ‘Frogs’. This was performed in the style of Ancient Greek comedy, albeit with modern references and costumes.
The play was organised and performed almost entirely by Classics students from Years 12 and 13, with thanks to Miss Hay for a lot of hard work and encouragement, and Mr Murdoch from HBS for his acting talents!
The event was a huge success and all the cast are to be congratulated for an outstanding performance. Many of the parents, students and members of the public who attended remarked on how impressed they were with the quality of acting and level of professionalism. A great evening was had by all, and an impressive profit of approximately £200 was made. This will go to the Classics Department with a view to staging a similar, bigger, better production next year.
Thanks also go to the Year 7s of the Junior Classics Society and students from Year 12 who contributed refreshments that were sold during the interval. The profit from this (£18.50) is to go to Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Thank you to everyone who helped, both onstage and backstage, and especially to all those who came and enjoyed the play. Hopefully next year can be an even greater success! Beth Lewitt (Y13)
