DGS KS4 DRAMA - ANIMAL FARM
ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL.
BUT SOME STORIES STILL NEED TELLING.
This term, our KS4 students present an inventive, stylised production of Animal Farm. Using striking physical theatre, bold ensemble work, and a highly visual design, this reimagining of Orwell’s classic strips power back to its essentials: ambition, control, and the terrifying ease with which ideals collapse.
We cannot wait to see you there.
Please note this show has a dual cast -

Disney’s Finding Nemo JR. is a musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo, with new music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.

But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves. This production is performed by the students from PQA Longfield.

THE EDWARD'S BOYS COMPANY - THE KNIGHT OF THE BURNING PESTLETHURSDAY 19TH MARCH 2026
THE EDWARD'S BOYS COMPANY - THE KNIGHT OF THE BURNING PESTLE
The Edward’s Boys company are delighted to be returning to DGS following their successful visit in 2025.
Unlike much of Edward’s Boys repertoire, The Knight of the Burning Pestle has some performance history. Initially a failure when performed in 1607 by the Children of the Queen’s Revels, then briefly revived in the 1630s, it pretty much disappeared from the stage until 1898. Thereafter, it has been occasionally revived by professionals, usually as a star-vehicle. However, for Knight fully to make sense it needs to be performed by a boys’ company.
It’s an outrageous comedy that doesn’t just break the fourth wall, it tears it up into little pieces and jumps up and down on it. (Indeed, it might have been written by Luigi Pirandello – had he been around 320 years earlier than he was. And English.)
A mischievous parody and generous satire, this play both mocks theatre, and revels in it. By encouraging audience collaboration and exploiting the undeniable power of popular song, rude vigour tramples all over literary sophistication. The result is an embracing the spirit of Carnival, the festive excess of popular celebration.
How should we account for the initial failure of this play? Perhaps it was an ironic endorsement of the satire’s accuracy. Audiences are notoriously dim…
The only place for The Knight of the Burning Pestle is in the theatre. For the only place in The Knight of the Burning Pestle is the theatre.
Edward’s Boys
Edward’s Boys, an all-boy theatre company comprising students from King Edward VI School, Stratford-upon-Avon (“Shakespeare’s School”), have received critical praise and popular success as a result of their work exploring the repertoire of the boys’ companies from the early modern period.
In the words of Professor Emma Smith, Hertford College, Oxford the Edward’s Boys Project, “is the most sustained attempt to re-imagine what we think boy companies could do – and it will really re-write the academic theatre history books.”
“Edward’s Boys are a firm fixture on the map of the English theatrical scene—and they have also changed the map of how we think about early modern theatre (not just boys’ company plays). The boys – of all ages – are simultaneously innocent and knowing in performance, keeping city comedy teetering on the brink of send-up and making revenge tragedy able to confront its own excess.”
Professor Laurie Maguire, Magdalen College, Oxford
They are our modern day “Little Eyases”, as the companies of boy performers were referred to in Hamlet. But in fact the exercise is much more than that, and should I think be seen, as it deserves to be, in the wider context of Shakespeare study and performance worldwide…for me as a Shakespeare director, with particular interest in the repertoire of his contemporaries, these productions have proved invaluable… Forgive me for going on at length, but I think the school is producing something rather miraculous, and I suspect it is too easy for that to go unsaid. So I am saying it.
Sir Gregory Doran, former Artistic Director, Royal Shakespeare Company
