Life-size frogs hopping away, fish on land and talking dogs made for the evening of excitement at the International School Brunei (ISB) production of ‘The Adventures of Dolittle’. The musical production was a delightful musical based on the classic story of a quirky veterinarian with an extraordinary gift of being able to talk to animals. It featured a cast and crew of some 200 ISB primary and secondary students, and teachers and staff, with the stage adaptation written especially for ISB. The story whisked the audience away on a journey from a quaint English village to exotic locations as Dr. Dolittle embarked on a quest to find the legendary Great Pink Sea Snail.
It was a night filled with laughter, music and the power of understanding creatures great and small, while also exploring the wonders of friendship, empathy and the importance of understanding and respecting all living beings. Mr. Dominic Morley, Executive Principal and Chief Executive Officer of ISB said, “This play, brought to life by the dedication and talent of our wonderful, hard-working pupils, is a testament to ISB’s commitment to inclusive international education and excellence. Throughout the rehearsals, the children have demonstrated incredible enthusiasm, passion and tenacity to develop the skills and courage to perform.” The school production coincides with ISB’s 60th anniversary year, marking six decades of inclusive academic excellence since the school was first established in 1964.
The ISB musical production was sponsored by Standard Chartered Bank Brunei, Brunei Fertilizer Industries Sdn Bhd, Brunei Shell Petroleum Company Sdn Bhd, Royal Brunei Culinary, Poni Divers, GoMamam, Ezy Printing and D’Sunlit Sdn Bhd.Â
