Over 120 Year 7 students enjoyed a moving and memorable performance of John Boyne’s poignant novel ‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ at Nottingham Theatre Royal.  Students have been studying the novel, which is set during World War II and explores the forbidden friendship between Bruno, the eight-year-old son of a commandant at a concentration camp and Shmuel, a Jewish boy on the other side of the camp fence.
