Excellent deal on theatre tickets for University staff

Thursday, 25 July 2013

The University has just been notified of a special offer for University staff to see ‘Look Back in Anger' by John Osborne by the Reading Rep theatre company.

Reading Rep is in its inaugural year. So far they have had sell out performances of their first three shows, and their current show ‘Look Back in Anger' by John Osborne opened last week to rave reviews "...an outstanding production that would give anything from the west end a run for its money, and win." - iReviewTheatre. ‘Look Back in Anger' has been described as ‘a landmark of British Theatre'; John Osborne's infamous play catapulted Jimmy Porter, the first Angry Young Man, onto the stage. A vicious indictment of middle-class mediocrity, it is an enthralling and disturbing work by a master British playwright.

Part of Reading Rep's driving philosophy is to work with all aspects of Reading community including the University. They already provide formal academic work placements and are developing partnerships with the University, but Reading Rep also want to reach University staff directly and are offering the deal of two tickets for £10 for performances tonight (Monday 29 July) or tomorrow (Tuesday 30 July).

This offer is only available to University of Reading staff and can be booked online up to two hours before the show starts.
