Year 8/9 spanish play

On Wednesday 14th January Year 8 and 9 Spanish students got the opportunity to experience a play in Spanish entitled ' Un Ensayo Desastroso ' which means 'A Disastrous audition'. Normally these plays take part during Languages Week but unfortunately this touring
theatre company will not be in London for Languages Week which will take place during 9-13th February 2026.

The play is set in a small town theatre in Spain where auditions are taking place for the new production of Romeo and Juliet. The Ruislip High School student audience were encouraged to take part and five students were selected to audition for different roles, deliver lines and make sound effects in Spanish. The play was wildly funny, full of theatrical meltdowns and moments of unexpected brilliance.

Niam from 9F and Maddie from 9S who played Romeo and Juliet respectively were especially spectacular.

“I really enjoyed being part of the performance by playing Juliet and overall it was a very fun experience.” Maddie 9S

“The play was very fun and interactive. They were speaking in Spanish very clearly making sure the audience knew what was happening." Parshva 9D

“The Spanish play was brilliant. The actors were amazing and the audience participation was fantastic. It was so funny and I was laughing for most of it.” Millie 9S
