This project sees university students take to the stage to polish their Spanish skills. Students fulfil a variety of roles in addition to learning lines and performing, including research, fundraising and marketing, as well set building and costumemaking.

The eighteen-week Spanish-medium programme involves workshops and literary analysis in addition to the performance. It is highly popular, despite the time commitment often required beyond the formal three hours a week. Associated projects include a drama course for language teachers, organised by the drama department.

‘Language through theatre’ is the recipient of the Spanish Embassy special prize for the best project involving Spanish.
