S.G. Lee from this year’s MA in Theatre Making has sent in this fantastic shot from her play Jocasta, staged in studio 1 back in March. As you can see, the show looked stunning and it’s a great pity there aren’t a few more images like this – we just need to track down the photographer and steal his memory-card.
The complete list of this year’s MA productions is below (along with a few of the posters). If you have images from these, or any other productions staged here over the years, please email them in. We’d love to see them.
