Analyse and discuss the plays and performances that you love, while learning practical skills for your future career, with a theatre course at the University of Reading.

Our flexible programmes provide the opportunity to learn practical skills from the first year, or to follow a critical-only route. Throughout your degree, you will:

  • study theatre from a range of cultures and historical periods
  • explore how directors, playwrights and other theatre artists respond to and shape our rapidly changing world
  • examine theory and practice – and learn how to blend them together – to develop both your critical and technical skills.

Depending on your chosen modules, you will also have the option to:

  • collaborate on theatre performances, short films or television pieces
  • develop your practical skills in transformable or adaptable theatre spaces
  • work with dedicated technicians to develop your knowledge and skills in set, costume, lighting and sound.

You will be based in Minghella Studios, a purpose-built study environment that provides theatre spaces, cinema auditorium, film and TV studios, and post-production suites.

More than 80 performances, films and television programmes are created in the Department each year, offering multiple opportunities to develop your technical or performance skills.
