From 18th to 20th of May at 8pm senior drama students will present an original performance piece to showcase of their talents, skills and abilities within VCE Drama.

The performance is designed within the Unit 3 study to assess students on their abilities to create and work within an Ensemble performance. This year they have been given the challenge of creating an ensemble performance that focuses on the Seven Deadly Sins

It’s 2022 and after emerging from a global pandemic the business of the world has changed. To survive it’s often a case of reinvention, adaption or death and no one knows death like those involved in the afterlife. Yes, life has been tough for all businesses over the past few years….even in purgatory.

In the spirit of economic rationalism the ‘Collection of Lost Souls’ department is being brought in to account and the viability of the seven deadly sins are called into question.

‘Surely we don’t need all of these sins?’ is the phrase being bandied about in the boardroom.

A review is called and as each sin scrambles to prove their worth they demonstrate and recreate key examples of how they have influenced great moments in literature, history, popular culture and the ways they have recently appeared and impacted lives in lockdown.

Each student within this year’s task is responsible for the development of at least one substantial character. The complex task challenges them to master the skills required to both create and perform their own work. The play will be a strong blend of both comedy and drama and will be presented within an eclectic theatrical style. The performance will run for approximately forty minutes and will incorporate the use of a dynamic soundtrack and creative use of lighting and projection.

Seating is unreserved and no booking is required over the 3 night season.

Venue is the Mt. Clear Auditorium. Entry via gold coin donation
