⭐️🎭 This week our talented Level 1 Theatre and Performance students have two shows that have been crafted and inspired by the works of Jeanette Winterson.

‘Here’s The Story’ will show at Stage One between the 21st and 22nd of May (12:00pm, 3:00pm [21st], 12:00pm [22nd]). This playful new performance, inspired by Jeanette Winterson’s The PowerBook, invites audiences into the act of storytelling to ask how we love, how we connect and how we author our own stories.

‘Why Be Happy?’ will be showing in Alec Clegg Studio also between the 21st and 22nd of May (2:00pm, 4:00pm [21st], 2:00pm, [22nd]). Featuring the work of 18 students, this devised ensemble piece explores how women love, lose, and write themselves into being.
