Performing Arts students put on regular shows in venues in and around the borough - most recently at Ickenham's Compass Theatre.

Trojan Women by Euripedes (pictured) was performed on 1 and 2 March by final year students from Uxbridge College taking a BTEC National Diploma in Drama.

Year 2 National Diploma students are also due to put on Godspell at The Beck Theatre in Hayes in July, and other shows are planned for later this year at Ealing's Questor's Theatre, and at a venue in Harlow.

Euripides director and Uxbridge College drama lecturer Peter Machen said: "It is great to be out performing in west London's venues. It gives our students real experience and means our community gets a chance to see what great work they produce. We plan to start staging shows at a bigger variety of venues - maybe even in central London."

Peter has extensive experience in television, film and theatre. He ran his own theatre group for nine years and has taught and directed children and adults of all ages and abilities. He has appeared in television programmes including Coronation Street and Brookside.
