Feaver’s show, making its UK premiere, follows Jo Mulligan, the first female master in her college’s history, as she tries to create a more inclusive environment. However, an incident on campus pits her against Nikki, a student seeking justice, leading to escalating tensions.

It runs from Tuesday 11 June until Saturday 20 July, while the creative team includes Vicki Mortimer as set designer, Fay Fullerton as costume designer, Jessica Hung Han Yun as lighting designer, Ian Dickinson as sound designer, Alev Lenz as composer, Shelley Maxwell as movement director, and Amy Ball CDG as the casting director.
