Drama

There is a tradition of high quality and inclusive drama at All Saints both within and outside the curriculum. Over the years the school has seen a number of outstanding productions including 'Ratz', 'I Remember it Well' - based on the reminiscences of York residents and performed on the main stage of the Theatre Royal, 'Tales Untold' - an adaptation of Grimm's fairy tales. We have performed two of the famous York Mystery Plays, 'Moses and Pharaoh' and 'Herod and the Magi'.

As part of the York Mystery plays we performed on a wagon in five different sites around the centre of York and even impressed Judi Dench. The school has also taken part in exciting projects run by the National Theatre, York Drama Festival and Riding Lights.

Drama provides excellent opportunities for students to achieve in a variety of ways whilst allowing staff and students to work together both on stage and behind the scenes. It is a vibrant area of school life.
