Exeter College Performing Arts students are bringing to life Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in their own unique adaption of the much-loved classic.
The show is the culmination of two years hard work by Exeter College students studying a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Performing Arts and consolidates all they have learnt with a final performance.
The week long programme sees them perform their own adaption, which has been written by the students themselves, of the children’s novel at The Barnfield Theatre from the 16th to the 22nd May.
Students from Exeter College will set up a pop-up newsroom at the Devon County Show on May 19-21 at the Westpoint showground, Exeter. The team will film, photograph and write about what catches their eye at the county’s largest annual event. Richard Lappas, a lecturer on the journalism and practical media course, said: “This is an exciting project with huge potential. As it is being organised and controlled by students past and present from the foundation degree course in news journalism at Exeter College, it is going to give a whole new perspective on such a well-respected and supported...

Working in a hospice is in equal parts uplifting and draining. I get to work with the most amazing people and then sometimes, sadly, have to say goodbye to them too.
The communications office is directly above the 12 bed ward so on a day-to-day level I could be separated from the heart of our work here at Hospiscare. To make sure I stay connected with what we are really about, people, I often wander downstairs and chat with folk who are around.
Occasionally I interview patients or their loved ones and it can be difficult to hear their stories, but more often than not it is...
