THE PLAY | BAME Medea (Oxford University BAME Drama Society)
In May 2018 the Oxford University Drama Society performed a modern adaptation of Euripides' tragedy Medea with an all BAME cast and crew.
“You think that I might be a witch? That I might be a strange, dangerous monster? Because I wasn’t born here and because I am a woman.”
Set in a dystopian world, Jason has abandoned his wife, Medea, and their two children. He is remarrying the princess of the land, with the hope that this partnership will bring him security and prosperity. Medea, a barbarian and now left alone, is seen as a menace to the law and is threatened with banishment. After pleading for mercy, Medea is allowed one day before she must leave, during which she plans to complete her dark and disturbing quest for "justice”.
Medea is not just a play about fidelity, family and reveng...

In May 2018 the Oxford University Drama Society performed a modern adaptation of Euripides' tragedy Medea with an all BAME cast and crew.
“You think that I might be a witch? That I might be a strange, dangerous monster? Because I wasn’t born here and because I am a woman.”
Set in a dystopian world, Jason has abandoned his wife, Medea, and their two children. He is remarrying the princess of the land, with the hope that this partnership will bring him security and prosperity. Medea, a barbarian and now left alone, is seen as a menace to the law and is threatened with banishment. After pleading for mercy, Medea is allowed one day before she must leave, during which she plans to complete her dark and disturbing quest for "justice”.
Medea is not just a play about fidelity, family and revenge, but an inquiry into the psyche of those most marginalised by society. It is an exploration of the themes of identity and belonging, the politics of power and femininity, and a psychological examination of how anyone can be sufficiently inflamed by insult, loss and the threat of isolation to harm the people they most love.
Featuring a BAME cast and crew, Oxford BAME Drama Society presents a modern adaptation of Euripides’ Tragedy, combining music with movement and spoken word to transform Robin Robertson’s translation into a celebration of culture and exploration of identity.

OUDS has organised a workshop to give an introduction to funding and budgeting for student theatre, with an emphasis on understanding and adapting to pandemic-specific limitations.
We explain how theatre funding works in Oxford, with general tips for budgeting, writing funding bids and securing funding. We then look towards next term and discuss what to expect in terms of social distancing, and other differences from usual budgeting. Overall, we aimed to demistify show finances and give you the tools to continue producing brilliant theatre regardless of the Covid restrictions we find ourselves in.

Oxford.
Students of the Oxford University Dramatic Society parade through a street in their costumes for Thomas Hardy's play of the "Dynasts". Some of them are in character including one dressed as an old man smoking a pipe. He takes the pipe out of his mouth and spits on the ground.
Static shot of them as they walk past crowds of spectators. Some very good costumes.
