Durham Drama Festival
The aim of the DDF is "to promote involvement in theatre and
to act as a forum for new work in theatre". A student festival
which is in three parts: Five X Five in which five groups are given
one act of Romeo and Juliet to perform in any way they wish,
and then the whole thing is performed on the evening; one act plays
and Take Away in which groups are given five phrases abd 24 hours
later they come back and perform a fifteen minute play based on them.
The site contains full details of the festival.

More like an amateur theatre site than a University one: about the
group, shows, auditions, technical matters, costumes and props, their
theatre, and membership details.

connection to the uni. The site gives details of the group and their
productions.
