On Wednesday 29th January, the Drama department welcomed back Steve and Mike from StageED for a full day Blood Brothers masterclass.

Blood Brothers is the set text for Drama GCSE and Steve and Mike played the characters of Mickey and Sammy in the West End and beyond. 35 Year 9 and 10 students took part in the masterclass and it was a vibrant and active day! From staging key scenes from the musical to learning the Liverpudlian accent and dialect the students were fully engaged from the word go.

It was a joy to watch their participation as they fully immersed themselves in the world of the play.

Here is some feedback from our students about their thoughts about the day

> - *It was outstanding* - Chanel (Year 9)
> - *Fun and practical* - Blanka (Year 9)
> - *I loved how practical it was but we also learned so much about the play. It was really good fun* - Izzy (Year 10)
> - *I enjoyed learning about the context and the history of Liverpool in the time the play was set* - Ryan (Year 10)
