The curtain has risen on another year of fabulous theatre trips for HWS Drama students. Punchdrunk's incredible Viola's Room was the first spectacle for our A Level Drama students and what a show to start with. It was immersive storytelling at its best and a unique experience! pic.twitter.com/YOHyJvNLIT
