2017-18 Productions

Posh Friday 6th and Saturday 7th October Weston Studio, The Edge, University of Bath Directed by Lex Bailey Bradshaw At points hilarious, at points hard-hitting, overall: amazing! Based on the stories of Oxford's Bullingdon Club, the play focuses on differences in social class and the damaging effects this can have. One trip to a restaurant goes one step too far and the group were never the same again.
Confusions 11th November  The Edge Theatre Directed by Ana Gallego-Martin This hilarious group of four short plays was really a baptism of fire for the Freshers, but what a show it was! The play sees varying forms of family life in different walks of life. The cast came together to put on a fantastic show and have never looked back since.
Wonderland 7th, 8th, and 9th December The Edge Theatre Written and directed by Sarah Bridge An adaptation of the classic 'Alice in Wonderland' with all your favourite characters, Sarah achieved truly wonderful things with this feast of merriment. The Christmas show's cast added to the wonder with amazing acting, dancing, and, well... being wonderfully mad.
The Comedy of Errors 1st, 2nd, and 3rd March The Mission Theatre, Bath City Centre Directed by Seb Gethin A Shakespearian classic that left the audience in stitches, and that wasn't because of the swords!

1984 19th, 20th, and 21st April The Edge Theatre Directed by Chris Short The famous novel comes to life on the stage, as Winston slowly realises his struggle against Big Brother isn't going to work.

Fear and Misery of the Third Reich 8th and 9th June The Museum of Bath at Work, Bath city centre Directed by Owen Biggadike Written by Brecht during the Second World War, the fascinating play shows dramatisied sections of people's lives in Nazi Germany.
