“I am not against big benches, per se. Rather, what I am against is The Big Yellow USU Bench. In truth, I abhor it with every fibre of my being. There is something wretchedly ironic about its existence, about its pathetic pleading.”

“The fight for Palestine is a fight that everyone must be involved in — the fight against war and imperialism is a fight for a better world for all of us.”

PULP continues to be PULP, whatever that means to you. Just not your grandma’s orange juice, and definitely not your favourite Britpop band.

Whilst these adaptations are perfectly fine, there’s an anachronism that can accompany any production put to stage from another era.

Brilliantly adapted by directors Kieran Casey and Charlie Papps, the production offers a night of gut-wrenching laughter and meta-theatrical analysis in their double (O’) bill of two modern absurdist classics

It wasn’t until I opened an alumni account that I finally came to terms with losing access to my university emails.
