George's Marvellous Medicine

On Saturday 20th January, the Virtual School visited the Curve Theatre in Leicester to see a brilliant production of George's Marvellous Medicine.

Leicestershire Virtual School

Roald Dahl's tale of George and the potion he made for his grumpy grandma was brought to life in a lively performance with music, dancing, a giant chicken and a few bangs and flashes as the potions were mixed! There was plenty of audience participation and our group of 14 children joined in as we helped George remember the ingredients he needed. The children all really enjoyed the show - and the free ice creams during the interval, saying:

"I liked the bit where the Grandma came in on the motorcycle"

"The play was funny"

"I liked the whoopee cushion bit!"

"I liked the whole thing"
