Real Inspector Hound Theatre Visit

Thursday, June 19, 2008
On June 19th, Year 12 Extension 1 students travelled to Newtown to see ‘The Real Inspector Hound’ by Tom Stoppard. Three teachers in total accompanied us, with two English teachers (Mrs. Glassock and Mrs. Bootes) and an art teacher (it seems Mrs. Wiltshire just wanted a night out).

With time to spare, upon arriving in the chic inner city suburb, we dined at a local café , their gelato seeming to be a favourite for teacher and student alike.
 
Upon being seated inside the theatre, great anticipation overcame us, the stage set up as the play suggested.
The play seemed to get the approval of the English Coordinator, Mrs. Glassock, who was heard laughing in affirmation. The rest of the Extension One students were not far behind her, a previous reading of the script apparently helpful in understanding the play. 

For me anyway, a sign of a good play or movie is the quotes that stream out from the audience long after, this theory evident again that night, as the students and staff quoted the play the entire trip home, possibly irritating the hired bus driver. We would like to thank the teachers for accompanying us, the Mr. Busman (I think his name was Peter) for safely transporting us, and would like to apologize to the patrons of the café in Newtown, as we were possibly quite loud and excitable.
