Africa-Press – Seychelles. The International School Seychelles (ISS) recently showcased the talents of the students in exciting and incredibly entertaining performances of ‘Matilda: The Musical’ at the International Conference Centre (ICCS).
‘Matilda: The Musical’, with a book by Dennis Kelly and music and lyrics by Tim Minchin, is based on the Roald Dahl book, ‘Matilda’. A children’s novel that was published in 1988, it became notable in years thereafter with movies and many stage productions.

Miss Leah Fisher (Teacher of Drama and Music at the International School Seychelles, and Production Director), the students immersed themselves into creating this captivating and marvellous world of Matilda.
Miss Leah Fisher noted: “It has honestly been a joy to direct and lead this production. Everyone involved from the backstage team, responsible for stage management, lights, sound, designing props and costumes, and front of house, to the members of staff involved, for their help and
support along the way, I am extremely grateful and proud of everything they have done. I am so proud of each and every one of my students for their dedication and talent to make the show an exciting and enjoyable experience.”
The school was thrilled to welcome many people to the performances at ICCS who were there to show their support and witness the talents of all involved in ‘Matilda: The Musical’.
Elodie Vallantine (Principal and Head of Secondary of the International School Seychelles) said: “The Performing Arts provision at ISS is a key component of our students’ education. The skills gained from an opportunity like ‘Matilda: The Musical’ are beneficial to our students:
confidence, public speaking and teamwork are some examples. I am proud of our students’ achievements and thankful to the dedication of the ISS staff, always going the extra mile to deliver the best for our school.”
