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.

UIV Musical

Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass 

On the 18, 19 and 20 March 2010, the UIV presented their interpretation of the stunningly imaginative ‘Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass'. The first act focussed on Alice's adventures and encounters in Wonderland, whilst the second act focused on her efforts to escape the strange world she had entered ‘through the looking glass'. The role of Alice was therefore shared between two actresses and plaudits should be given to Louise and Celeste for excelling in such a demanding and central role.
