10 November 2017Dear Parent,

Sixth Form: Screening of ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ at The Barbican Cinema

The English Department has arranged a cinema trip for Sixth-Form students to see the National Theatre Live Screening of ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ at The Barbican Cinema on Thursday 22nd February 2018. It is an evening showing which will begin at 7:00pm and conclude at approximately 10:00pm. It is an exciting opportunity to see one of Williams’ greatest plays and provides many useful contextual and comparative links to boys’ study of A Streetcar Named Desire. Only 22 tickets have been reserved for the school, and are £22 each. Sixth-formers that are studying A Streetcar Named Desire at A-level are expected to attend; any remaining tickets will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.

The boys will be expected to make their own way to the cinema and home after the performance.

I am pleased to say that school trips will now be booked and paid for online via WisePay, which can be accessed from the Parent Portal.
