The Bear
‘The Bear’ was Zoe’s a Year 10 student at University Senior College directorial debut and was part of her Exploring Identities and Future passion project. The play was executed wonderfully, with a cast of three. Zoe also made props to use on the stage and drew the artwork seen on the program. Zoe hoped audience members would ‘fall in love with Chekhov’s exploration of melodramatic audacity, comical emotional turmoil, and theatrical metamorphosis – just as she has’. And we did indeed!
