SEMESTER ONE SHOWS

The Tempest
Written by William Shakespeare “We are such stuff, As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.” In this bold new production of The Tempest, a unique emphasis on physical performance, and the integration of live music, dance sequences, and silk aerials heightens the sense of metatheatricality and reminds us of the bittersweet impermanence of both art and life. Director: Casuarina O'Brien Producer: Liam Jarvis |

Punk Rock
Written by Simon Stephens “Sometimes the world is a bit unnerving. Some people do awful things…” Punk Rock is a provocative and compelling play by multi-award winning playwright Simon Stephens about violence and mental illness among disaffected youth. The play involves seven teenagers (William, Lilly, Bennet, Chadwick, Nicholas, Tanya and Cissy) in their final year at an elite, fee-paying grammar school in Stockport (UK). However, as exam pressure builds tensions flare and expose a raw undercurrent of panic and hostility. Directed by Kathleen Quere Produced by Veronica Barac |

Between Two Waves
Written by Ian Meadows Between Two Waves shows a vision of the future that is not so simple. The optimism for the future that was enjoyed by our parents and theirs can often feel a distant luxury when there is no way of knowing what that future will look like. Directed by Michael Booker Produced by Keri Tsaoucis |
