Tuesday 25th March – New Writing Evening

A Woman’s Might by Kai Jagpal 

Three classical heroines. Is it too late for their “happily ever after”?

No one can escape the plan of God, not even three of their most trusted workers. In the land of Limbo, three workers must decide whether the recently deceased should be sent to Heaven or Hell.

Implosion by Shaun Wilson 

An absurdist piece of theatre looking investigating the work place

Thursday 27th March 7pm – Alternative Theatre and Comedy Evening

Nevermore by Paige Dyson. 

The Addams Family meets the play that goes wrong as they battle ghoulish ghosts, pathetic props and atrocious actors…one can only hope that they’ll all manage to make it through the night!

Lameo and Juliet by Zoe Hudson 

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet meets a twist on the tale when instead of falling for a Montague she falls for a simple clown.

Public Nuisance 

A piece of clowning investigating the right to protest and the impact of political events on the individual

The programme has been designed by working professionals to allow students to develop the skills required for performing on stage and screen. This joint approach gives experience of both mediums and offers the student a distinct advantage in the job market or to explore further the craft of Acting. Students develop core acting skills in voice, characterisation and physicality which are to be utilised in performances for stage and screen.
