Drama Cuppers is an intercollegiate theatre festival, at which groups of freshers from different colleges present short pieces (30 mins max) on a minimum budget with limited rehearsal. You can choose to put on a short one-act play, a few sketches, an extract from a longer work, or even new writing - and in any genre, from the tragic to the slapstick. Anything goes! Prizes are awarded (including one for the best graduate involvement) but overall the attitude is very relaxed - and the main aim is to have fun, meet like-minded people, and taste a small sample of wider Oxford drama! The deadline for entry forms is the end of this Friday, but then you have over two weeks for rehearsal before performing at the BT Studio in the town centre in 5th week.
