GEORGE NEWS - A story of two brothers, worlds apart and tied by fate, was skillfully told by learners of George High through their musical, The Prince of Egypt. The production ran from Thursday 29 September to Saturday 1 October, with a gala event on Friday.
Dancers, actors and singers showcased their talents to a receptive audience who enjoyed every minute of the gala show.
The musical is a retelling of the biblical book of Exodus. The Egyptian prince, Moses, discovers his roots as a Jewish slave and begins his mission to free his people from slavery.
According to the director, William Constable-Alaart, the story comes at an appropriate time in our lives. "The pandemic has kept us stuck and at times left us hopeless.
"This story reminds us to rediscover the power in hope and to hold on to a hopeful future."
The production was choreographed by Bradley Zeelie, with Germaine Leonard and Kira Spies as music directors.
The rest of the team were: Ashley Engelbrecht and Kevin van Niekerk (set designers); Nikita and Danika Orange (stage managers); Severiano Botha (lighting and sound designer); Maryda Squire (costume designer) and Lindsey-Jo Smith (make-up artist).
