Year 11/12 Drama Excursion QPAC Frankenstein

On Thursday 29 May, our Year 11 and 12 Drama students attended a thrilling performance of Frankenstein by Shake & Stir Theatre Company at QPAC. This bold and imaginative adaptation of Mary Shelley’s gothic classic left a lasting impression on all who attended.

From the striking set design and dramatic lighting effects to the seamless multimedia integration and gripping performances, students were completely captivated by the high-calibre production. The tension and emotion in the performance had the audience on the edge of their seats, with many students commenting on how powerful and thought-provoking the show was.

One student even declared it was the “best show I’ve ever seen,” a sentiment echoed by many who were inspired not only by the storytelling but also by the innovative staging and theatrical techniques.

The experience has sparked rich classroom discussion and reflection, with students drawing on the performance as a benchmark for their own creative work. We extend our thanks to Shake & Stir for delivering such an engaging and professional production — one that has clearly left a mark on the next generation of theatre-makers.
