“The men at court are without poetry. I will have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love. Not the artful postures of love, but love that overthrows life. Unbiddable, ungovernable, like a riot in the heart,and nothing to be done come ruin or rapture.”#deanclosedrama

As the weekend’s snowfall hardens to ice outside, it is a good time to look forward to this adaptation by Robert Macfarlane and @Complicite of The Dark is Rising.

So excited to see this with lower sixth drama next month!

Tonight’s Drama trip to Stratford to see The Tempest truly was such stuff as dreams are made on. So much to think about that’s it’s hard to know where to be inspired first! #RSC #TheTempest #deanclosedrama #deanclosecreative #deancloseflourish

I can confirm that no students were harmed in tonight’s Lord of the Flies slightly acrobatic rehearsal. However, it is comforting to know that your sixth form assistant director has come prepared anyway! #deanclosedrama #deanclosecourage #deanclosecreative
