Chillingly appropriate for our current society today, LUTheatre’s production of Karel Capek’s R.U.R (‘Rossum’s Universal Robots’) was fantastically scary and intuitive, in all the right ways. Directed by Joshua Rising and Louis Hampton, and produced by Sam Wharvell, this production fantastically highlighted the potential dangers of humanity’s ambitions, but also the importance of what it means to be […]
Cast Trip
In my last blog, I talked about how thankful I was that I plucked up the courage to join the LuTheatre society, and that I had a blast finding a new hobby in acting, playing Timms in The History Boys. What I failed to include, however, was that during rehearsal period, our cast actually […]
The History Boys – “Pass it on.”
During the ReFreshers period, I attended the Societies Fair and signed up to several societies that I thought I might try out. I hadn’t really explored the societies aspect of university, during first year, since I’d spent a lot of my time working part-time. However, I’d decided that I wanted to dip a tentative […]
Low Tide
I have been having an incredible experience at university – I still maintain that choosing to come to the University of Leicester was the best decision I’ve ever made – but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t bad days.

I know I’ll be all curled up on the sofa, with some chocolate and the Nightmare Before Christmas, later on, to […]
King Lear
Directed by Claire Paddison and James Flood, and performed by the University of Leicester’s Theatrical Society, this King Lear production was an interesting exploration into some of the subtler elements of the characters. It was a new twist on an old classic, and reinstated my love for both directing and King Lear itself. The […]
Worldwide
This week, a lot of university students received confirmation about their study abroad applications: I was excited to hear from my American Studies friends about where they would be going, next year, in America. I’ll admit that I was a teeny bit jealous when I heard about all the amazing places that they would be going to: Arizona, Oregan, […]
