Promising Talent in The Promise

Last night, 1st and 2nd Years took to the stage to perform ‘The Promise,’ an adaptation of an old Balinese folktale written by Ben Oldfield.

The story, themed around honesty and integrity, follows a young girl who makes a playful promise to a prince and, years later, embarks on an epic journey to understand its true meaning. Along the way, she encounters many challenges but is guided by her unwavering truthfulness.

The production was not only inspiring but also genuinely funny, with pupils delivering brilliantly witty and sharp lines throughout. Directed by Mrs Sanderson with Assistant Director Mr Oldfield, the production also featured excellent choreography that delivered impressive sequences. Remarkably, the cast learned their parts in just five weeks, delivering strong performances with clear, confident lines.

Tickets are still available for tonight’s performance. Don’t miss this inspiring and beautifully told tale from a promising group of young actors. Book here > https://www.burrelltheatre.com/whats-on/
