ORIGINAL Spanish, flamenco dance and classical guitar music all feature in a school show this week.
Pupils studying GCSE drama at Bradon Forest School in Purton are staging Dona Rosita - The Spinster by Federico Garcia Lorca at the school's theatre this week.
The play, also known as The Language of Flowers, is a classic tale of love, age and sadness, with Dona Rosita a young woman whose lover has been sent away, yet she promises to wait for his return.
Performing arts manager Jennifer Cady said: "Having watched the run through, it really is an amazing show.
"The students have worked so hard and the acting is superb - it's hard to believe they are only 15."
The show's set has been hand painted by GCSE art students, using floor to ceiling silk banners covered in red roses - the symbol author Lorca uses to portray Rosita's loss of youth.
The production, directed by drama teacher David Calder, features live classical guitar music played by Stephen Lewis Gilmore, flamboyant flamenco dancing and beautiful singing from the ladies of the play and even some of the original Spanish.
Dona Rosita opened on Tuesday and runs until tomorrow night, with performances at 7.30pm. To book tickets call 01793 773981.
