Exeter College have announced that they will offer a range of new concessions for school students and educational institutions wishing to bring groups to their spring performance of ‘Oh What a Lovely War’. The aim is to encourage more schools to bring groups of students and see how students of higher level learning work and to raise the profile of performing arts within the area.

Exeter College BTEC Extended Diploma Performing Arts students are performing the musical, written by Joan Littlewood & Theatre Workshop. It will run from 16-20 May 2018 at Exeter’s Barnfield Theatre.

Tickets are on general sale at £12 (£10 concessions). New this year Exeter College have announced school groups can pick up tickets for only £8 per child, with one adult free for every 10 tickets. Meaning a group of ten students could attend with a chaperone for as little as £80.

This is a welcome return to Exeter’s Barnfield theatre where Exeter College last year performed the Diary of Anne Frank, to great reviews.

Head of Media and Performing Arts, Katie Wild said: “We felt it particularly important to perform a piece to mark the centenary of the end of the Great War. But this work goes much further than that, the play resonates enormously with the world today.
