‘The Best Years of Your Life’ – Written by Charlotte Bellasar, Eleanor Furman-Gower, George Hughes and Joshua Mason

Being 18 is amazing. You’re finally an adult; partying, going clubbing, drinking, living with mates – it’s the dream. People always say your years at uni are the best years of your life. You’re young, free, careless (and have a student loan). But in true societal tradition, they lied.

‘The Best Years of your Life’ is a piece of theatre which tackles societies view of mental health, and what better way to do it than use the epitome of insecurity- students. Reminding us that we never know what a person is going through behind closed doors.

‘The Ordinariness of Her’ – Written by Isabel Hague
