Theatre in Residence
Truro School has entered into a relationship with a now well-established and dynamic theatre company, cube, as part of its focus on developing the Burrell Theatre and drama within the school. Their most recent productions, "The Uninvited" - written and directed by Jon Welch - and "Hamlet" have received amazing reviews. Pupils from Truro School and other local schools have benefited from seeing the production process at various stages and the English Department at Truro School has enjoyed similar benefits for students taking GCSEs.
cube is led by artistic directors Ben Oldfield (Zenith Theatre and Hall for Cornwall) and Benjamin Symes (former DIrector of Theatre at Truro School) and operations director David Gibson (New Cornwall Opera).
