British School in Colombo presents 'Anything Goes'

Features

This March, the British School in Colombo hopes to take audiences back in time to style of theatre and music that will take one back to a time of nostalgia, dreamy romance and lighthearted fun with 'Anything Goes'.

For directors Shane Meiklejohn and Shamistha de Silva Dean (music) the chance to recreate a 1930’s inspired vintage musical was a challenge that they took up with a lot of enthusiasm.

Their cast is not unfamiliar with the genres of music they will be tackling like swing, jazz and soul which Shamitha constantly encourages them in. For the Head of Drama; Shane, the decision to perform the timeless musical was more for the parents and grandparents in the audience but became instantly appealing to the youngsters as well.

These days he’s working with the kids to bring out their 1930’s swagger and poise, their character
workshops have even included props, fashion and pictures from the past to give the fresh
young cast some insight into another era.

The British School in Colombo presents “Anything Goes” on March 22 – 24 at 7.00 pm at the
British School Auditorium. Tickets priced at Rs. 2000 and 1000 and will be available at Softwave
Gallery and the British School in Colombo.
