this term’s reading
The Real Inspector Hound - Tom Stoppard
This is an entertaining and pertinent one act play with a twist on the whodunnit convention.
The Good Person Of Szechwan - Bertolt Brecht
The play follows a young prostitute as she struggles to lead a life that is "good" according to the terms of the morality taught by the gods.
Ditch – Beth Steel
Ditch received its world premiere at the HighTide Festival in 2010 and transferred to the Old Vic Tunnels for a six week run in a production directed by Richard Twyman. The play was shortlisted for the John Whiting Award.
Blythe Spirit - Noel Coward
A hilarious period classic that points the finger at all things false while drawing out the humanity of those who are driven to duplicity.
