Our second year students are hard at work planning and rehearsing two plays, which will be performed in the Irving Studio at the Everyman in the last week of January.

In the two years since then, they have performed in numerous full productions, including That's Show Last Century, a variety show, in the Everyman Studio, The Changing Room for National Theatre Connections both at the Everyman and The [...]
