Those of you who got to see the Love in Literature 101: Romeo and Juliet production over the weekend, will certainly have a better understanding of what makes Riverstone International School students so special.
This abridged Shakespeare classic was written and Directed by Rachel Cherny as part of her International Baccalaureate Theatre project and involved the considerable talents of Margaret Yang, Mitchell Hayes, Sam Steven, Melinda Quick, Jackson Sheedy, Jessie Sims, Charlie Utting. Scott Learned and Juliana Myhre with music provided by the incomparable Aled Roberts as part of his IB Music project.
It is no exaggeration to say that this was one of the best productions of Romeo and Juliet I have seen in a long time, and for someone who was brought up not 20 miles from Stratford upon Avon, the home of Shakespeare, that is praise indeed.
Congratulations and thanks to all involved, you deserve great success with your IB exams.
