The Importance of Being Earnest
by Oscar Wilde
Thursday 19th | 1:00pm
Thursday 19th | 4:00pm
Everyone's told a lie before but not quite like this!
Chaos is emerging as tangled tall tales begin to unravel and an unnerving feeling arises in the complications of not knowing who you are or who anyone else claims to be. A confused and ridiculous ninety minutes of love, deception, hilarity, and a lot of cucumber sandwiches!
Location
Antonin Artaud Theatre, Brunel University London, UB8 3PH
The show was fully produced in 10 days - an incredible achievement for everyone involved! Congrats to the whole cast and crew on two hilarious performances, sold out for both!
Director: Haura Larris
Cast: Adam Bradley, James J. Larbow, Franki Nesha, Hannah Lynch, Lydia Lennon, Max de Young, Nadine Chui, and Chloe Perrin.
"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."

A Midsummer Night's Dream
by William Shakespeare
Friday 1st |7:30pm
Saturday 2nd|7:30pm
Four lovers, a theatre troupe, the King and Queen of the faeries, controlling parents, and... a donkey? A classic Shakespeare comedy where the course of true love really doesn't run smooth.
An imaginative and dark retelling saw Studio Brunel bring their most ambitious production yet to the Antonin Artaud Theatre. This incredible cast of young performers, alongside live new music by Wil Pritchard, transported their audience to a world of magic, mystery, and manipulation.

Leaving for university from their small town in Cornwall, Ina, Holman and Tre arrange one finale night together. Inspired by Ina's Greek heritage, they gather in a sea cave late at night to perform an ancient ritual that they hope will cement their friendship forever. The waves rise and cut them off as the ritual unfolds, hidden betrayals emerge and they begin to fear that the cave may hold other unimaginably dark secrets…
