International School Brunei (ISB) held the first showing of a musical production showcase, The Adventures of Dr Dolittle, at its Theatre last night to mark its 60th anniversary.
The musical was 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 200 ISB primary and secondary school students, along with teachers and staff.
The adaptation, inspired by the book and film, was written specifically for the school, and whisks the audience away on a journey from a quaint English village to exotic locations as Dr Dolittle embarks on a quest to find the legendary Great Pink Sea Snail.
The experience is one 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. – Fadley Faisal
