Huddersfield University Drama Festival 2022: Reclaim the Night

On Tuesday 10th May to Friday 13th May 2022 the final year Huddersfield Drama students will be performing their work to audiences as part of the Huddersfield Drama Festival, ‘Common Grounds’.

There are nine different plays, all touching on different genres from comedy to romance and tragedy - there’s definitely something for everyone.

It’s a great chance for our talented students to showcase their work and a chance for the audience to enjoy an excellent piece of theatre!

Tickets for all performances are available to purchase through dramaevents@hud.ac.uk

All performances listed are open to all students, staff and members of the public, tickets are £3 for each performance or £1.50 for concessions.

Reclaim the Night:

You can drink like the men do and get equal wage, 

And see every minute on the For You Page.  

You're aware of our limited knowledge of life,  

You're still expected to be a mother and a wife.  

You can become a hashtag self-made Bossbabe, 

Just know that they still might take what your mother gave.  

This is the life as a woman who belongs to our confused youth,  

To know we have it better now, but they still won't face the truth.  

They fought for our rights.  

Now, we fight for our likes.  

And still, we live in fear.  

Don't agree? That's fine, you can fuck off, dear. 

Respectfully :) 

Didn't you hear? 

I didn't ask for this, let that be clear.  

I will die on this hill.  

If you don't feel like this,  

This isn't For You.  

 A short stage of existential self-indulgence

Performed by Ella Hughes, Chloe Jackson and Caitlin Washington-Watson
