Written by students of the University of Birmingham’s Masters Playwriting course, under the guidance of Course Convenor playwright Fraser Grace, these three new solo plays present a startlingly modern take on ancient story.
Directed with a professional cast by Robert Ball, in a script-in-hand performance, this event aims to raise funds for the annual Playwright’s Workshop, which will showcase student thesis plays later in the year. Support your local playwrights!
This event is presented by the Department of Drama & Theatre Arts, in partnership with Cultural Engagement, as part of Arts & Science Festival 2014, a week-long celebration of ideas, research and collaboration across campus.
