The three plays selected for this year’s ‘Players Week’, run by The Queen’s University Players with the best show chosen to participate at the ISDA theatre festival had a mixture of themes. From finding love in unexpected places ‘The Woman in the Red Dress’, a comedic tale of tempters in Hell luring Humans away from God, to the enemy ‘The Screwtape Letters’, and a coming-of-age story about a group of seven grammar school boys exploring the nature of education, sexuality and literature as they prepare for Oxbridge entrance exams ‘The History Boys’.
