Northcross teachers Mark Jensen, Chloe Smith and Adam Martin are three talented performers who are excited to bring live theatre to the school in October, with the staging of the Eugene Ionesco comic drama The Lesson.
“We all agreed that performing a play, in the school, not only provides our community with an opportunity to see another side to teachers, but also to view a fascinating play, written by a legendary writer of absurd theatre. Adults and students will get something out of The Lesson, particularly as the drama examines the way we are taught and the way we learn,” says Mr Jensen.
Both Chloe and Mark are heavily involved in the performing arts at Northcross and are looking forward to interpreting and performing this one-act play.
The Lesson is a comedic parable of the dangers inherent in indoctrination. The absurd plot of the play concerns a timid professor (Jensen) who uses the meaning he assigns to words to establish tyrannical dominance over an eager female student (Smith).
Performances are in the Northcross drama space 7pm, October 21 – Oct.24. Bookings 4770167 or contact markj@northcross.school.nz.
Tickets – adults $15, students $5
