Bishop Gore Young Playwrights

It is exactly one year until the centenary of the birth of our most famous pupil -Dylan Thomas. We are planning a series of events to celebrate this and the next few months will be very busy with a number of exciting announcements likely to be made.
One of our major events is to host a young playwrights competition which will be held in early 2014. We will be inviting  pupils to submit scripts for short plays which will then be judged with the winning scripts being performed by other pupils in the school.

In the clip above we can here Dylan Thomas reading one of his most famous works 'Do not go gentle into that good night' which he wrote for his father (who taught English at our school). We are proud to be part of the life of one of the most influential twentieth century poets and authors.
