To Sir, With Love
Adapted by Ayub Khan-Din, based on the book by E. R. Braithwaite
Directed by Jared Edwards

An uplifting story of the triumph of love, inspiration and hope against all odds.
Ricky Braithwaite, an ex-RAF fighter pilot and Cambridge graduate, arrives in London in 1948. Despite his First Class degree in electronic engineering he is turned down for job after job in his chosen profession and discovers the reality of life as a black man in post-war England. Taking the only job he can get, Ricky begins his first teaching post, in a tough but progressive East End school.
Supported by an enlightened headmaster, the determined teacher turns teenage rebelliousness into self-respect, contempt into consideration and hate into love, and on the way, Ricky himself learns that he has more in common with his students than he had realised.

Party Time
by Harold Pinter
Directed by Level 3 Drama student Dylan McKay

A party in an elegant flat. Below, in the streets, is a military presence, but the party goes on.
The streets are blockaded outside Gavin's upmarket flat, the result of a military occupation. Inside, Gavin hosts a party where the machinations between the guests are as potent and suffocating as any wider social upheaval.

Please be advised that Party Time contains coarse language - recommended for audience’s 13+
