3RD YEAR BA ACTING STUDENTS PRESENT:
Born into poverty, saddled with a parrot strangler for a dad, short-sighted and ungainly, young Henry Pratt doesn't exactly have a head start in life yet in this faithful adaptation of David Nobbs brilliantly funny novel we touchingly follow the trials and tribulations of a Yorkshire boyhood and see how an unathletic and an over-imaginative little Pratt proves he can stick up for himself with the stoic good nature and passive courage of the great British underdog.
Featuring: Matthew Burton, Georgina Hope, Stephanie Howard, Bethan James, Yue Khamisa, Brendan Murphy, Jonathan Pennington-Lyons, Danielle Perchard, Sam Riley, Sanita Simms, Sarah Treacy, Ben Wells

3RD YEAR ACTING STUDENTS PRESENT:
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner's powerful portrayal of individual resolution, irresolution and dissolution in the face of political catastrophe, A Bright Room Called Day follows a group of artists and political activists struggling to preserve themselves in 1930s Berlin as the Weimar Republic surrenders to the seduction of fascism. Often exquisitely lyrical, always exhilaratingly intelligent, the poetic world of the play moves beyond the bounds of historical reality with the morally outraged outpourings of a contemporary New York woman. Her fury at the Reagan and Bush presidencies brings into stark relief the discomforting similarities between then and now, and challenges us to remember that although evil may seem inevitable, it is never irresistible.
Featuring: Laura Bailey, Lauren Carter, Shamaya Chalabi, Neil Cunningham, Melissa Clements, Paul Ham, Bill Holland, Paula Preston, Frances Strzelecki
