The Miracle Worker

Earlier this term, the Awatapu College Drama department staged a moving production of "The Miracle Worker" by William Gibson. The play details the interwoven journeys from despair to hope of the two main protagonists, the brave Helen Keller, struck dead and blind from the age of 6 months, and her inspirational teacher, Annie Sullivan (played by Aimee Dredge and Matilda Fyles, respectively). In a complex, emotional play, they and the family of Helen Keller (played by Karl Werner, Britney Lewin, Kobi Shearer and Zoe Taylor), not only took their audience into their despair, but showed them what was needed to find the gateway out.

The Manawatu Standard recently interviewed the lead actors of the play. To read the full article, please click here. 

Such a production could not have been possible without our dedicated team of performers, costume designers, and stage crew - thank you. Thanks also to our talented students in the Hard Materials department for creating such an impressive set.
