The Addams Family Was Amazing

14 Feb

Our College production of The Addams Family - School Edition was just amazing. The Clarkson theatre was filled with humour and haunts galore as our talented cast of pupils, from Year 7 right up to Sixth Form, brought this legendary, quirky family to life.

We met the ultimate princess of darkness Wednesday Addams, all grown up and with a shocking secret that only her father, the suave Gomez, knows. She's fallen in love with a sweet young girl from a very respectable family. With the enchanting Morticia still in the dark, the two families meet for a fateful dinner with hilarious consequences.

For six performances we joined them, Uncle Fester, Lurch, Pugsley and more for a heart-warming story of love, family and friendship in this creepy but charming tale. It was spectacular, full of vibrant energy and enthusiasm and we are all still clicking our fingers and humming along to the songs after what was a most entertaining and enjoyable show.

Congratulations to everyone involved, on stage and behind the scenes and especially to the Directors, Mr Cowlishaw and Ms Newborough. We just can't wait to find out what their plans are for next year!
