And, just like that, the gates to our swamp have closed and the sun has set on the adventures of Shrek and Donkey for the final time.

What an incredible journey it’s been. From the first rehearsal to the final bows, this show has been packed with laughter, chaos, fairy‑tale magic, and more heart than any of us could have imagined.

But none of it would have come alive without you—our audiences.

Thank you for stepping into our swamp, cheering on our heroes and sharing this big, bright, beautiful story with us. Your energy, your applause, and your smiles have made every performance unforgettable. 💚✨

As we say goodbye to Duloc, and our slightly smelly swamp, we’d love to hear from you. Let us know your favourite moments, what made you laugh or what moved you. Your feedback helps us make future productions at Ysgol Penglais even better!
