Leon Joins Cast of Lord of the Flies!

Everyone at Riverbank is very proud of one of our pupils, Leon Zarzoso, who participated in a dance taster session at Riverbank in connection with the stage version of the William Golding novel Lord of the Flies.

Following on from the school session with Laura Cherry and Miranda Sheehy of Aberdeen Performing Arts, who are also ambassadors for Matthew Bourne’s Lord of the Flies, Leon and some of our other boys were asked if they were interested in auditioning for the stage show.

Leon attended auditions on Sunday 22 June and to quote Laura Cherry, ‘After a very intense and physically demanding weekend, Leon battled it out with lots of other boys to secure his place! He showed commitment, talent and maturity. Riverbank should be very proud of him!

He will take to the stage with the rest of the cast on 27–30 August where he will perform in 6 shows at His Majesty’s Theatre alongside world famous theatre company New Adventures.’

We are, indeed, all very proud of Leon and we hope we may have the opportunity to see him in the play when it is performed at HMT from August 27 to August 30 2014.

Well done, Leon and ‘break a leg!’
