Poetry In Performance Club Evening

The PiP Club re-emerges from the summer recess to tap into the unflagging interest in the Country’s greatest playwright against the backdrop of this commemorative year, the 400th since Shakespeare’s death.

Born in the era of Elizabeth and dying in the Jacobean period, Shakespeare’s life witnessed societies torn apart by social and political conflict, espionage and plague.

They will be trying to capture the exuberance as well as the brooding turbulence of Shakespeare’s dramatic imagination in scenes performed by students and staff.

History, comedy, tragedy and romance will all feature in a wide range of exciting performances. Musicians, actors and dancers will be in the Main Hall performing in the round for your entertainment and delight as they try to recreate a world long since gone and yet, inescapably, one which profoundly touches your mind and heart today.
