The bodies rocked and the heads rolled as the lights went up onstage at the Rogers Theatre! This year's Malvern College Prep School production is the musical 'Henry the Tudor Dude' by Kjartan Poskitt, with a cast of over fifty pupils from Years 5-8. The life of England's most outrageous monarch, Henry VIII, is humorously portrayed in this entertaining rock-and-roll musical. Battles with France, the reformation of the church, umpteen executions and the tale of six wives are all brought to the stage by 'Tudor News' in this colourful extravaganza. With a stunning set and costumes, the show is a visual treat. Drama and music play an important part of school life at Malvern Prep: five senior members of the cast have just secured drama scholarships and exhibitions into their senior schools. Three performances were given of 'Henry the Tudor Dude' in the Rogers Theatre, Malvern College, to a total number of around five hundred enthusiastic spectators.
