Twenty years of plays presented by drama students at Lancaster’s Dukes Theatre will be celebrated in January.

Back in 1995, the drama department at the then St Martin’s College in Lancaster, staged The Taming of the Shrew at The Dukes.

Jan Ashcroft, the current University of Cumbria EAB Lecturer of the Year, who supervised that original production returns for a 20th consecutive year to oversee the production of Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind, one of two plays presented by final year drama students from the University’s Lancaster campus.

The mini anniversary season in The Round kicks off on January 21-24 with Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
