King's Juniors wow audiences with 'Archibald's War'

Once again, The King’s School Junior School’s J4s wowed the audience with their production of Kane and Kane’s ‘Archibald’s War’. Sixty nine pupils made their debut in the new Vanbrugh Theatre as they portrayed the life of evacuees in 1939.

The audience were taken into the homes of the families, travelled with the evacuees on their train journey from Euston to Cheshire as well as watching them ‘Dig for Victory’ down on the farm. Pupils worked extremely hard to produce a spectacular performance. The children played to a full house on both nights and the curtain fell to tumultuous applause.

The production which was directed by teacher Mrs Vanessa Gibson in collaboration with Musical Director Mrs Barbara Roberts, coincided with the celebrations marking the 100th Anniversary of The King’s Junior School.
