Colston’s has built a reputation for innovative theatre, and Lower Sixth pupils are currently working on a production of ‘Bouncers’ by the celebrated Yorkshire playwright John Godber.

Fellow Yorkshireman William Ilkley, who has played a string of leading roles in television series such as ‘Dalziel and Pascoe’ and ‘Judge John Deed’ is also a Godber enthusiast, and agreed to run a half day workshop on Friday 9th January 2009 to help drama students appreciate and perform Godber’s work.

The lucky drama students who benefited from this invaluable workshop were Aaron Thomas, Jack Osborne, Sasha Roe and Rory Harte.
