Sweeney Todd (August 2016)
PYT took on the mammoth task of casting, staging and performing Sweeney Todd all within a two-week period over summer 2016. We were astounded by the whole cast and the amount they achieved within the two weeks, approaching the show with amazing maturity and enthusiasm.
" Absolutely amazing performances by all… so good and entertaining." - Maria Smith
"Well done to all the cast & crew in Sweeney Todd, my daughter & I watched it last night it was fabulous. It was hard to believe you put it all together in 2 weeks, you should be incredibly proud of yourselves" - Samantha Clement
"What a great show Sweeney Todd is, you have done a great job and the whole cast were amazing! Can't believe you achieved that in just 2 weeks, well done" - Nicky Cullen
His Dark Materials (July 2016)
His Dark Materials (Part 1) tells a magical tale of a young girl, Lyra and her mysterious Uncle, Lord Asriel and is based on the same novels as the film ‘The Golden Compass’
The story begins in Lyra’s Oxford – an Oxford very like our own, but with strange differences like each person’s soul taking the form of an animal companion or ‘Daemon’.
When Lyra overhears her Uncle, Lord Asriel, arguing with the religious authorities about mysterious “dust”, she embarks on an incredible journey to the Arctic to try and discover the truth. She meets the dangerously enticing Mrs Coulter and learns the secrets of the truth-telling Alethiometer. Along the way she encounters fantastical creatures in parallel worlds – armoured bears, flying witches and child-catching Gobblers.
In an eerie deserted city, Lyra meets a young boy, Will, who is on the run. Her fate is strangely linked to his, and together they must find the most powerful weapon of all – a magical knife that can take them to parallel worlds.
The Jungle Book (July 2015)
Adapted from the stories by Rudyard Kipling. Mowgli the “man-cub”, lost in the jungle, is rescued from the clutches of the fearsome tiger – Shere Khan, by Baloo the bear and Bagheera the Black Panther. Brought up with a family of wolf-cubs, the time eventually comes for Mowgli to return to the world of Man. But Mowgli is not finished with the jungle, for one day he returns to settle the score with Shere Khan…
The Truth Behind the Tales (November 2014)
All fiction has been banned. It seems that fairy tales are a thing of the past, buried beneath the ground or burned to ash.
But what happens when a little boy discovers the torn-out pages of a book full of our favourite fairy tales? Can the imaginations of children bring them back to life?
An improvised performance by the On Stage group.
Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass (July 2014)
“Well done to the whole cast in Alice in Wonderland you were outstanding tonight your hard work really was worth it and yes it was for all ages because I loved it especially the make up and costumes for Jordan Laight as the Cheshire Cat, Alex Cottom the red queen, Declan Mosson as the Mad Hatter and Katie Booth as the white rabbit. I still thought everyone’s acting was great in the show today well done guys.” - Beth Avery
Lord of the Flies (January 2014)
1001 PYT Nights (November 2013)
The Tuesday 2 group presented their improvised performance based on the stories from 1001 Arabian Nights in the Room Upstairs. They spent the last two terms working on this performance, using interesting improvisation and storytelling techniques.
The Wizard of Oz (July 2013)
“Came to see the Wizard of Oz with my cousin from Canada and we thought the performance was excellent. Dorothy had the most beautiful voice. The witch was so entertaining and she sounded so much like the one of the Wizard of Oz. Well done to all those wonderful children that made the show. The lion, Tin man and scarecrow were brilliant. Thanks for entertaining, you will all go far in life.”
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (January 2013)
“Thanks to everyone involved with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe for making my last show so great! Can’t believe I’ve had nearly ten years in the Palace Youth Theatre and now its all over, you are all amazing! xxxxxx” - Emma Gardner
