We are delighted to invite the BGS community to a very exciting afternoon of Shakespeare theatre on Tuesday 23rd and Wednesday 24th May, 4:30pm-5:30pm.

Performed by our entire Year 6 cohort, the Shakespeare in Spring plays will be split across the two dates, with form groups performing per afternoon. Tickets are priced at £4 per person, purchase here.

Mr Stratton (Director of Drama and Dance) said: “In 2019, students from BGS, Bedford School and Goldington Academy descended on the gardens of The Quarry Theatre to perform abridged versions of the Bard's most beloved plays; full of wonderfully expressive and magical language. The event was a huge success and has acted as inspiration to rediscover the magic this year with our Year 6 students. The department is very excited to share with you these relaxed and low-stakes performances - a celebration of our students and their talent and of Shakespeare himself!"
