The Crucible, Mar 2018
DIRECTORS / CONSTANTINOS SAVVA & CYD COWLEY
The Crucible, if we do say so ourselves, was simply fantastic. We hadn't done a serious play in tiiiiime ​and we'd (well I had definitely) almost forgotten how actually talented our members are! From Ben Hayward's graceful, majestic neck method acting to Rachel Ruck's legitimately Olivier-deserving performance to Michael Anyanechi's ability to create tension with anyone or anything, it was a masterpiece. Another feat was the lush soundscape designed by director Constantinos Savva and sound magician Shiras Patel that elevated it like no other.

Cyd Cowley, Ass Director
Assistant directing was a journey (read: worst journey of my life). I was tried and tested (read: some people are so untalented and useless it makes me want to hurt things), but I came out on the other side a better person (read: I literally rated a scene at the dress rehearsal 1/10. No regrets.)
Ehsaan Zaman, Tech Director
Look - I'll be the first to admit I am incredible. I am in circles known as the incredible lighting director/overlord. But fire alarms have a mind of their own alright! Even my tech wizardry couldn't help the fire alarm on Night 2. Wait what - the blackout? Nah that was dry Maria.
Frankii Watson, Actor
Playing Abigail was a very diverse role. As you can see from the photos I have a variety of facial expressions to offer you including the sad scowl, the lusty scowl, the guilty scowl, and the "If-looks-could-kill" scowl. It was a challenge but hey, someone had to try and do it.
