		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Tell us about the play.  It’s a Greek tragedy which surrounds three central characters: Ulysses, Neoptolemus – the son of Achilles – and Philoctetes. The setting is the end of the Trojan War. Earlier on in the war, Philoctetes has been rejected by the Greek army for having been very badly wounded – the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To start with: why are you holding these play-readings? Mainly to raise the profile of these plays in Oxford. There aren’t enough student productions here of plays written by women and I thought a good way to tackle to this would be to hold some relaxed readings, and show that these plays exist, and more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[High tragedy is a brave route for student drama to pursue. High comedy is the same. This new English dramatisation of La Chatelaine de Vergi (Chastity on the Verge), however, is rather firm in its defence of the middle ground. We’re not supposed to cry, but nor are we supposed to roll in the Burton [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any play produced in Oxford that is not in English gets the disadvantage of doubt. And not entirely unfairly. The brutal reality is that, when it comes to actors who can work in a language other than English, the pool of talent is a small, unprecious puddle. Far too many Latin plays have driven the [...]]]></description>

My first introduction to outdoor theatre in Oxford was New College MCR’s delightful production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and it proved [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chekhov’s play The Seagull can easily be staged as a Puccini-esque 19th Century melodrama moving between affected solo arias and perfectly orchestrated chorus scenes  (as the unfortunately successful 1898 production by Stanislavsky demonstrated). Luckily for Chekhov (and for us) Blanche McIntyre’s production makes none of these mistakes. At first sight, the play revolves around a [...]]]></description>

On the contrary, it is razor-sharp and incredibly quick. The packed Burton Taylor (full to the extent that several theatregoers were turned away at the door) was testament to the group&#8217;s skilful advertising, and it soon became obvious [...]]]></description>

Priestley’s ‘drawing room’ classic, An Inspector Calls.  Centering on the well-to-do Birling family as they gather to celebrate their daughter’s engagement, the play charts the unwelcome arrival of a police [...]]]></description>
