24.01.2022 Playwright Mark Rogers from the School of the Arts, English and Media, will have his award-winning play 'Superheroes' headline the re-opening of the Griffin Theatre Company as it resumes live performances! Superheroes is a play about two women on opposite sides of the world living small lives in a time of big politics. It’s a play that parallels two very different lives to ask questions about what it means to take responsibility for your actions, and what it means to change your mind. It will be shown at the Seymour Centre from 25 September to 4th October 2020. We're looking forward to it, Mark.
