Advanced Productions Festival is starting today!

It’s that exciting time of the year again when our annual Performing Arts Advanced Production Festival kicks off: join us at this exciting performance festival led by our third year students, who produce, direct and perform in various shows presented both inside and beyond the university.  

Again, this year’s performances are a wide range of plays, and include devised performances alongside original writing, whilst the opening night presents a musical version of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

All of the performances will be shown at The Wycombe Swan in the Town Hall between the 22 February and the 2 March 2016, before travelling to venues such as Oxford House or Omnibus in London, and local venues such as Norden Farm in Maidenhead and Duke St Theatre between 1 and 11 March.
