There are a wide range of Drama activities outside the examination curriculum. These provide an opportunity for girls to discover and develop not only their acting abilities but also a wide range of production and backstage skills.

Wycombe Abbey Seniors who have gone on to make a career in film, on the stage and as playwrights include Eve Best, Rachel Stirling, Naomi Frederick, Miriam Heard, Sally Phillips, Polly Stenham and many others.

During the Autumn term a group of  LVI girls came together and with the help of Mrs Vernon, Mrs Davies, Dr Bates and Dr Savage, they created a collage of extraordinary sketches.  The stunningly elaborate set and Russian costumes added to the actresses’ performances and the extremely funny script by Anton Checkhov ensured that the audiences, on both nights, enjoyed a hilarious interpreatation of Russian life, and more importantly the problems that humans encounter and how NOT to deal with them.  Each scene was carried out swiftly and professionally with each scene change aided by the live performance of talented musicans.  It was definitely a night worth remembering !
