Young performers from a primary school’s drama club have put on a show to remember in their annual production.
Wylye Valley Primary School Drama Club’s 2025 showcase was ‘Sherlock and Cinders’, a musical mystery and twist on the traditional folk story featuring the world’s most famous detective.
The school’s drama club have been working hard on the play every Tuesday after school since February. Preparations stepped up during June with additional rehearsals including a dress-rehearsal in front of the whole school.
In Sherlock and Cinders, Sherlock Holmes (Emma Layland) and Doctor Watson (Sonny Allison) conducted their most challenging investigation yet – to find the foot that fits the glass slipper.
Disguised respectively as a Duke and a female cook, Holmes and Watson set about finding the beautiful, mysterious lady who fled the ball.
The cast totalled 26 Year 5 and 6 children, and the school said the sold-out production was a huge success, with a well-received performance in front of parents and families.
Headteacher Rob Barnes, said, “I am so proud of the children. Their performances were brilliant. I am grateful for the time and efforts of Sam Allison, Lisa Meredith and Gabii Rayner. They worked tirelessly to put this production on.”
