Trevor Nunn To Direct Two Gentlemen Of Verona For ArtsEd students

ArtsEd LogoTrevor Nunn, an eminent figure of theatre, is set to direct ArtsEd students in their amateur production of William Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona, a huge coup for both the students and Arts Educational. Nunn is an internationally acclaimed director and ArtsEd Patron; ArtsEd is the first UK drama school to work with Nunn on his first production of Two Gentlemen of Verona.

The lucky students in question are final year BA Acting students who are on the cusp of completing their training at ArtsEd and are about to join the performing arts industry. It is undoubtable the students will benefit enormously from the opportunity to work with such an experienced, versatile and highly regarded director, who equally must have a huge amount of faith and trust in these talented final year students. Whilst theatrical names from the industry often are commissioned to work with vocational students, the privilege of having Nunn onboard the ArtsEd production is a huge one.

Nunn has made it no secret that he enjoys working with students: as a Patron of ArtsEd and an enthusiastic follower of the work produced by the school, it is thought to be a pleasure for him to also offer practical rather than just institutional support. The training students receive at ArtsEd is second to none, preparing them to work on stage, screen and film, however it is ultimately a dream come true to have the chance to work with one and learn from of the true greats – a director of this calibre – before they have graduated.

Tickets for the show are on sale now. Performances will run in repertory with Spring Awakening from 30 April-12 May 2015.
