Lamont Drama pupil 11-year-old Isla Gie has taken her final curtain call as MATILDA in the West End.

It has been a ‘dream come true’ for Isla to play the lead role for the past 6 months and she has loved every second of the experience!.

Isla first went to see the show for her 4^th birthday and has dreamed ever since of playing Matilda at the Cambridge Theatre.

Says her Mum Katy:  It’s been a really wonderful experience for Isla. She had so much fun and loved being with all the cast members. After her six-month contract came to an end, we decided not to renew it because she has a few TV roles in the pipeline and she also just started in Year 7 in her new school.  It just seemed the right time to bid a fond farewell to Matilda but Isla and the whole family will forever cherish our fabulous memories of all the Crunchem Hall maggots!”

These are just a few of those amazing memories…..
