Description

 

Drama Society is a place to have fun, relax and create theatre with other people who love drama just as much as you. We are defined by our members, students from any course and any amount of experience. All that you need is a love for drama and commitment to what you do!

 

Our weekly Wednesday sessions focus on drama and improv games and putting together short devised and scripted scenes, with loads of opportunity to perform to the rest of the society. We work towards a panto in December and a big spring show in April, where our creative team and crew are all society members – everyone has the opportunity to help bring performances to life even if being onstage isn’t for you. We also have a lot of exciting new things for the society planned...

 

We are an amazing community that have pulled together to create some impressive work, most recently last March’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Pleasance, which contributed towards us winning Most Improved Society. We will carry that forwards to create even more amazing work and memories.

A photo of the characters Hippolyta and Theseus from A Midsummer Night's Dream. They are sat in profile to the camera. Theseus is reminiscing to Hippolyta, gesturing with his left hand at the image in his mind's eye. He is a young white man with black hair and a fond expression as if he is lost in his memories. He wears a pale blue shirt, black slacks and a black tie with a white rectangle pattern. His other hand rests on his knee. Hippolyta is on his right, with a weary but patient expression. She is a young white woman with curly brown hair pulled back from her face, wearing a brown overcoat and pink skirt. Her hands rest in her lap and she loosely holds a champagne flute in one of them. They are lit in a warm light against a black background.A photo of Drama Society on stage at Grand Ball 2024. The members of the society are all wearing colourful gowns and suits, and are cheering. Many of them have fists or hands raised in the air. Left of the centre a young white woman in a blue V-necked gown holds a silver trophy cup in the air. They are stood in front of a white powerpoint slide with blue text reading "Most Improved Society Winner". Behind the powerpoint is a blue background.A photo from the chest up of the characters Puck and Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream. They are in profile to the camera. Oberon is explaining his plan to Puck with a soft but intent focused expression and gesturing with his hands. He is a young white man with a sandy beard and hair, wearing a loose, brown, white and orange paisley-printed robe over a burgundy button-up with the top couple of buttons undone. He also wears a long necklace with chunky glass burgundy beads, a small, ornate gold tiara with many black jewels, and white fairy wings. Puck is on his right and has a listening, understanding expression. He is a young white man with floppy sandy hair, wearing a gold waistcoat and bright yellow tie with blue rings over a white shirt. His fringe held off his face with a hairclip and he wears elf ears. They are against a black background.
