2021 - The School

When Paige arrives at Lockhart Girls School, she is struck with the feeling that things are not quite right. Despite, its reputation for being the best finishing school in the Central Highlands, she can’t help but notice that the students and the staff behave in the most peculiar way. When she befriends one of the other students, Annie, her worst suspicions are surpassed. She suddenly realises that she is not in fact a student but a prisoner and she is soon to be turned into a product of ‘The School’.

‘The School’ began its creative development as a play exploring the loss of creativity in the education system. But as the group started to workshop the play into existence we discovered far darker things were happening at Lockhart Girls School than we’d initially imagined.

‘The School’ appeared as one of six plays, that feature as a part of ‘THIS DARK KINGDOM’ - a collection of gothic fairy-tales that are inspired by creative conversations with young people.
