Welcome to Manchester School of Theatre’s Virtual Showcase.

Throughout the turbulence of the last year, our third-year actors have shown their tenacity and creativity, their passion and their talent, and have moved fluidly and confidently between a variety of media, even in the course of a single rehearsal process.

Their first season was a huge success, opening with David Hare’s The Secret Rapture, followed by Road by Jim Cartwright, Image of an Unknown Young Woman by Elinor Cook and Sinners, a piece devised by the company with director Si Trinder.

Our final season of plays will include
