MLitt in Theatre Studies



I was delighted to attend the launch of the MLitt Degree in Theatre Studies which has been developed between the University of Dundee and Dundee Rep. This is a really excellent initiative. It is great to see two Dundee institutions with a national and indeed international reputation joining forces to work together.






Dundee-born actor and Rector of the University of Dundee spoke enthusiastically at the launch of the importance of this development. He was particularly keen to point out that this new degree was 'like nothing else available in the UK'. James Brining from the Rep and Prof Chris Whatley of Dundee University also spoke about the importance of this new degree. I hope that this is a great success and that many people will apply for this course.






On Saturday I was lucky enough to see the latest Dundee Rep play Mary Queen of Scots Got her Head Chopped Off. This was a great play and was superbly acted.
