BUDDING young actors at a private school in East Yorkshire trod the boards for a student-led production of The Drowsy Chaperone.

Pocklington School’s Musical Theatre Society presented the ‘musical within a comedy’, which was performed by students from the school, and directed by sixth formers Emma Burke and Sarah Jackson.

A team of other students worked tirelessly behind the scenes with the set, lighting, sound, paint, props and management.

Martin Kettlewell is the school’s director of music.

He said: “The directors brought out the laugh-out-loud comedy of this parody of an old-fashioned 1920s musical, and the talent of every single cast and support member was evident.”
