Welcome to the Department of Drama

The Department of Drama is a vibrant and expanding department, which places a major emphasis on the creative interrelationship between practice and theory. Staff members are active and committed researchers in a dynamic and contemporary range of aspects of the discipline: we carry out our research as much through practice-based projects as through theorisations of performance and explorations of textual practice.

Our aim is to provide one of the finest centres for the study and creation of theatre and drama in the country through a reflective and critical contribution to innovation in contemporary production and performance practice.

Students come from a wide range of backgrounds and there are currently approximately 180 undergraduates, 80 MA and 30 research postgraduate students in the Department.
