2014
Producer, Director and Cast of Peter Pan (2014)
|
The year 2014 was one of some high concept productions, whilst mixed with a few comedies to tug at the laugh strings.
This year saw a great fostering our society's community through planned gatherings. Whether it was at opening night drinks, or at Sam's Crack, Roundhouse, White House; NUTS was out in force. In terms of productions, NUTS produced a balance between comedy and drama. We saw grandiose set designs, ambitious directorial decisions and soaring lead performances. We had a student devised musical, an adaptation of a famous novel, a re-contextualised classic and even a play written entirely in rhyme! NUTS 2014 was remembered for its frequent social events and its risk taking productions. It was a year where the best of NUTS was on a platform; ready to take risks and celebrating it in style. |
