Intro

"The launch of this website is a significant milestone for Production and Design – something we had been considering for a while, but the need for which became sharply apparent during the last year.

The graduates whose work you can see in the website have shown a resilience that surely proves that they have the resources to thrive in our industry.

They’ve shown a level of commitment, dedication and, of course, a great deal of talent throughout the ever-shifting landscape of the current pandemic. It would be hard to find a more committed group of young theatre and film makers than the one represented here.

We are proud of them all and look forward to seeing them take their places in the professional world to which they all aspire.

We offer them our congratulations!"



Lisa Osborn (Head of Production), Richard Roberts (Head of Design) and all the Production and Design staff
