Peer

The Drama Department is extremely excited to invite the BGS community to our Years 7 and 8 production of Peer on Thursday 6th, Friday 7th and Saturday 8th July.

The play follows the life of Peer, starting as a teenager, through adult-hood and into old age. Peer’s life is extraordinarily exciting! We follow this journey through fantastical adventures from delving into the depths of the Troll King’s mountain palace, travelling Egypt and meeting a talking Sphynx, embarking on a long voyage on a ship only to be shipwrecked and rescued by dolphins…all the while, followed by a mysterious creature called “The Boyg”, although we are never quite sure if it's there to be Peer's guide or something more sinister.

The play is going to be in an ensemble style, so performers are going to have the opportunity to play a variety of different roles. In one scene they might be a villager, in the next, a troll, then on again as a member of a synchronised swimming team… there will be plenty to get our teeth into!

Tickets are priced at £9 and £4 for students, purchase here.
