This year, the Greenfields Theatre Company took to the stage to perform ‘Matilda’. Matilda is a children’s story written by Roald Dahl and tells the story of Matilda Wormwood, a gifted girl forced to put up with her crude, distant parents. Worse, Agatha Trunchbull, the evil headmistress at Matilda’s school, is a terrifyingly strict bully.However, when Matilda realizes she has the power of telekinesis, she begins to defend her friends from Trunchbull’s wrath and fight back against her unkind parents. Greenfields’ play was an adaptation of this story with its own special twists.
As usual all aspects of the production were undertaken by the students; from singing, acting and dancing to the props, scenery, costumes, lighting and ticket sales, under the guidance of the producer, Heather Stokes and director, Maria Bird.
The students performed three nights in a row to packed audiences and were enthusiastically applauded for their remarkable performances
