Armed with the dense prose of two of Britain’s heavyweights in playwrighting, the casts of the Year 10 production for 2014 took to the stage on Thursday 16 October and Friday 17 October  for a Double Bill of Absurd comedy. Jeremi Campese (10/MA) and Elliot Ulm (10/LE) stunned the audience with their pitch-perfect performance of Pinter’s The Dumbwaiter. After the interval we were treated to Tom Stoppard’s witty, sophisticated and slightly farcical Who-dunnit spoof, The Real Inspector Hound. Harrison Saunders (10/LE) and Lewis Ulm (10/LE) (playing the incessantly frustrated theatre critics, Moon and Birdboot) watched as Jeremy Leonard (10/FL), Lachlan Elliott (10/MA), Elliot Collins (10/JN), Will Papapetros (10/ME), Lorenzo Wayland (10/MA) and Jack Jacobs (10/FL) played out their country house mystery, before becoming inextricably involved themselves. All members of the cast and crew (Chris Webb (10/LE), Fletcher Howell (10/JN), Jack Ryan (10/KL) and Ashutosh Bidkar (9/FL) should be congratulated for their hard work, which resulted in two great nights out at the theatre.
