Rupert, from Redheart Theatre Company, delivered a one-man show, portraying all the characters while managing the music, sound, and lighting himself. His combination of storytelling and technical expertise created an experience that held the audience's attention throughout.

The performance drew a range of reactions, as the students were drawn into the eerie stories. Rupert's skill and versatility left a lasting impression, and several students stayed behind during the break to ask him about his work and creative process.

Opportunities like this allow students to experience high-quality live performance, inspiring creativity and an appreciation for storytelling and theatre.

We would like to thank Rupert and Redheart Theatre Company for bringing Gothic Tales to Leicester High School for Girls.
