Southwark College’s Level 2 Dance and Drama students recently captivated audiences with their Final Major Performance, presenting an impressive array of original plays and routines at the college’s on-campus theatre. Friends, families, faculty, and community members gathered to celebrate the creativity and hard work of these talented performers.

The performances were inspired by the iconic quote from the musical Blood Brothers — "The devil’s got your number" — and offered a powerful platform for students to explore a wide range of creative interpretations. Each piece was entirely self-devised, giving learners the opportunity to demonstrate their writing and performing skills as well as their creativity, collaboration, and storytelling abilities.

Audiences were treated to a diverse mix of genres and styles, from thought-provoking supernatural dramas to energetic dance routines and dark comedic sketches. Themes explored included fate, fear, temptation, revenge and identity — all reflecting the haunting and dramatic tone of the original quote in imaginative new ways.
