Local School Children From Samuel Lister Academy Performed With Blue Peter Presenter Radzi Chinyanganya

When A Midsummer Night’s Dream: A Play for the Nation arrived in Bradford, children from Samuel Lister Academy joined the Royal Shakespeare Company on stage to form part of Titania’s fairy train. On their first performance they were joined by a very special guest, Blue Peter presenter Radzi Chinyanganya.

Radzi Chinyanganya has been a Blue Peter presenter since October 2013. So far Radzi has completed many challenges on the programme but he’s never had to perform live on a theatre stage before. Radzi’s stage debut saw him appear alongside local schoolchildren as part of the Fairy Train in A Midsummer Night’s Dream: A Play for the Nation.    The BBC cameras were there to capture this, so tune in at 5pm on CBBC tonight (Thursday 21 April) to see how it went.    The children taking part from Samuel Lister Academy were: Bradley, Shuaib, Hassan, Sean, Rashda, Freda, Zain, Fizzah, Nida, Louis, Dehleez, Alhayna, Mohammed, Aamina, Ali, Hamza, Zain, Fatima, Sumiyyah, Rahees, Saima, Adam, Mehroz, Fatima, Sana, Adam, Paige, Fiza, Abdul and Ajay.    -ENDS-
