DCU DRAMA PRESENTS: ‘Perfect Arrangement’ by Topher Payne ?
“Why is Normie in the closet?
That’s… a very complicated question, Kitty.”
It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover. Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement, madcap classic sitcom-style laughs give way to provocative drama as two “All-American” couples are forced to stare down the closet door.

DCU Drama presents "A Midwinter Night's Dream".
The DCU Drama Panto is back, and this time - it's in cyberspace! Good ol' DCU, the bonds we form with the people we meet there really do feel like something magical! But what if there actually was a little magic going on in the background? Swapping the serene forests of Shakespeare’s classic play with the sticky floors of Nubar, "A Midwinter Night’s Dream" shows you just what chaos can happen when a fairy takes a whole bunch of pills and invades a college full of hormonal students. Featuring music, love triangles, and even a bike, you never know what might happen! ????

DCU Drama presents "Start Swimming", by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
The contemporary play "Start Swimming", written by James Fritz, is a show about occupation and what power young people have to create change. It's an abstract piece that explores freedom, resistance, and revolution, via carefully choreographed spoken word. The show is made up of eight characters with nothing to go on but their basic instincts. One step away from disaster, there's only one thing left to do: start swimming. ??
