🤩 Delighted to welcome pupils from Aberdeen Grammar School today at His Majesty's Theatre for the first iteration of The Next Stage, our new project where young people get to create and present their own original performances on the set of a major NTS production.
Pupils responded to The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by devising and performing original performances on the show's set, for an audience of peers, teachers and family. They also met some of the show's creative team and shadowed technical and production staff!
👋Aberdream! Prepare to enter your prime.
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie runs at His Majesty's Theatre until Saturday. Here's a sped-up inside look at the complex process of building the show's stunning set😍
A new stage adaptation by David Harrower, based on the novel by Muriel Spark. Directed by Vicky Featherstone.
