Hide AdRose Bruford is rated as the fourth best drama school in the UK and was one of six drama schools in the country to have been awarded gold status under the government’s new Teaching Excellence Framework.


Last year Molly spent several months studying theatre arts in Prague as part of her degree.
Romantika’s play What Lies Beneath was written by the company and is about a man who finds himself alone in the mountains, tormented by grief following the death of a loved one. It explores men’s reluctance to express their emotions.
The play was well received at the Bunker and Place theatres in London before the group took it to arts festivals in Paris and Birmingham, where it also enjoyed success.
