A young emerging theatre company made up of Exeter University graduates, Worklight Theatre, picked up not one, but two awards this summer when they took their show How to Start a Riot to Reading Fringe Festival.
They were awarded Best Production up against every show which featured in the two week festival, and Joe Sellman-Leava of the company was awarded Best Actor.
The show, developed with input from leading social psychologist, Professor Clifford Stott, having received five star reviews last year at Edinburgh Fringe continues to tour nationally.
A new exhibition has opened which features details of Broadclyst Primary School’s show stopping performance of 'Keep Calm and Carry On’ at Killerton House in June.
The entertaining promenade performance was developed by the schoolchildren in conjunction with Killerton staff and volunteers and gave the audience a rare chance to see World War II history brought to life in an innovative way. The performances were recorded on video and are now presented alongside displays of photographs, costumes and objects from the play.
The storyline, based on Killerton’s evacuee school in...

The Uncommon Players in association with Exeter Northcott Theatre present Educating Rita by Willy Russell

Hairdresser Rita thinks she wants a proper education, university lecturer Frank thinks she's got no chance. This bittersweet comedy, made famous by Julie Walters and Michael Caine, hilariously explores the prejudices of this strong-minded pair in their story of increasing mutual respect.
Following the successful collaboration on Talking Heads,...
