Yee-Haw! Guess What? A Rising Rugby Drama Student Has Saddled Up For A Western With A Twist In Stratford, And You Can Catch It Live On Freeview Channel 276. This Student, Robert Addi, Took The Stage By Storm In The Opening Night Of Cowbois, A Unique Western Currently Showing At The Royal Shakespeare Company’s Swan Theatre.
Robert, A Pupil At Avon Valley School, Played The Role Of ‘Kid’ In Cowbois And Put In The Work With Three Rehearsals A Week Leading Up To The Big Opening Night. This Isn’T Robert’S First Rodeo In The Spotlight, Though. He’S Already Made A Name For Himself As An Actor On BBC Children In Need And In The School’s Production Of Matilda.
In His Own Words, Robert Said, “Being A Part Of Cowbois Has Been An Incredible Experience. I’Ve Learned So Much And I’M Absolutely Loving Every Moment On Stage With Such Talented Actors. Performing In Front Of A Packed Audience In Stratford Has Been Nothing Short Of Amazing.”
The Headteacher, Blake Francis, Couldn’T Be Prouder. He Mentioned, “The Performing Arts Are At The Core Of Our School, And We’Re Dedicated To Providing Students With As Many Opportunities As Possible To Explore And Engage In The Arts. It’S Truly Fantastic To Hear About Robert’S Success On The Stage At The Swan Theatre. He’S An Outstanding Student And A True Ambassador For The Arts At AVS. We’Re All Incredibly Proud Of Him, And I’M Certain He’Ll Be In The Limelight Again In The Future.”
