DD1 and I were at the theatre last night (The Grinning Man, and it was excellent btw). We were surrounded by a group of teenagers who were, according to DD, on a GCSE drama trip. Much discussion with their teacher in the interval about set design, physical theatre etc.
We were so impressed by
a) the students - a lovely lot it seemed
and most importantly
b) the teacher. This young woman was fairly heavily pregnant - about 6 months at a guess - and the seats were not particularly comfortable for someone in this condition! In addition to that, yesterday was either the last day of term or during the holidays for every school I can think of, and there she was, taking a group to the theatre. She has our total respect, and deserves 

and a standing ovation!
