School Productions

School Plays: The School Plays are always of a very high quality indeed and cover a wide range of styles and genres. Recent productions have included plays by Shakespeare and Brecht. The productions are most often performed in the Speech Hall with stunning purpose-built sets.
Junior Plays: In the summer term, when many in the school are working on their external examinations, one of the highlights is the Junior School Play. This is usually performed in the VCT and features performers from the IVth and LVth Forms. Productions have included pieces written and tailored for the actors themselves as well as more traditional productions. In previous years plays have included ‘Tales of the Arabian Nights’ by Dominic Cooke, ‘The Comedy of Errors’ by William Shakespeare and ‘The Odyssey’ by Hattie Naylor.
Musical Productions: Cranleigh School is rightly regarded very highly for the quality of its Musicals. Both Drama and Music Departments work hard together to produce what many regard as their best-ever work. Recent Musicals include ‘Les Misérables’, ‘Sweeney Todd’ and ‘Fiddler on the Roof’.
