This comedy gives the audience a fly-on-the-wall view of an early stage production meeting for a university performance society as they prepare their radical new re-imagining of Arthur Miller's 'The Crucible'. Watch as the chaos of the meeting unfolds in real time: dreams will be made, hearts will be broken and Daddy's trust fund will be well and truly depleted. How to Mend the World (with a student play) is a love letter to student theatre and the grand ambitions of those who sweat blood to make it happen. UK theatre has one of the best reputations in the world and this is in no small part due to the freedom offered by student drama culture. It's a crucial training ground for the stars of the future - but even future stars deserve a good mocking every once in a while! While we may mock the passion and bravado of this genre, we thank our lucky stars that this theatre culture allows student theatre to exist and flourish.
