A TALENTED schoolgirl has won an award at a prestigious national competition.
Year 10 Pershore High School student Daisy Wakefield was named Best Young Actress at the All-England Theatre Festival – the country’s only national competitive drama festival for one-act plays.
As a member of the Swan Youth Theatre Group, Daisy cast six young people from Worcestershire schools, including Pershore, Nunnery, Bishop Perowne, Christopher Whitehead, RGS and Kings, in a production of The Handbag.
They were the first youth theatre group to ever get through the first round of the Worcestershire leg, reaching the semi-finals in Stoke-on-Trent.
The group did not reach the finals, but gave their best performance yet.
