The performance has been aptly named ‘Promenade’, which is a style of immersive theatre, that involves the audience moving from scene to scene with the cast, who are bringing to life the school’s illustrious past into the present day. Joining the pupils for this special occasion are EastEnders and Dancing on Ice star, Matt Laplinkas, West End performers Kane Oliver Parry and Maggie Lynne, as well as Emmerdale regular, Rebecca Eastham. The performance will take place at 6.
30pm and is open to the general public. The production is set within the school's grounds and buildings, with audience members walking from one short performance to the next, and concluding with a live band, fairground rides and a barbecue. Speaking about the creative process, Michael Jenkins, Head of Drama, and Director of the production, said: “When coming up with a way of celebrating the school’s rich history, I was inspired by the founders' story of starting up the school from humble beginnings, in the centre of Oswestry to where we are today.
“Ellen Lloyd-Williams, the founder of Moreton Hall, bravely brought her vision of pupils’ learning through joy and happiness for them to thrive and succeed during their time at Moreton Hall and beyond. It’s this sentiment that I hope shines throughout the Promenade, as it has done during our rehearsals. “It’s also wonderful to be bringing industry professionals to Shropshire to help us celebrate this momentous milestone.
All four actors bring wit.
