A taste of live theatre for College of West Anglia students




Performing arts students showcased their talents in a production of Bugsy Malone.

Level 2 and Level 3 College of West Anglia students from across the college’s performing arts programme, brought the 1929 New York underworld to life with energy and humour.

Performances were met with enthusiastic applause from audiences and the production offered a valuable opportunity for students to hone their acting skills and experience the thrill of live theatre.

“The comic timing and splat gun antics were wonderful, delighting the audience throughout the show. The inspired inclusion of subtitled vintage silent movie clips, featuring members of the cast at key points in the play, added another superb dimension to the evening.
