We Will Rock You (School Edition) - 20-23 Feb 2008

The opportunity to perform one of the most iconic rock musicals ever created also meant that the society could move from kindergarten to big school in terms of our venue.  Queen Mary’s Hall, Queen Mary’s College involved organising lights, sound, a ticket system and front of house – truly a step up!

The performance licence cost £120, and there were no royalty fees included.

The show Director, Richard Cox, also brought in fellow Winchester University students who used their involvement in the show for their degrees – directing, costumes and publicity.  Two went on to become teachers!

Nick Brannam, who played Kashoggi, dyed his hair blonde for the part.  The leather coat he wore has also continued to make further appearances in various BNG productions since !

House Music lent BNG a Brian May guitar for this production.
