Guildhall School of Music & Drama is throwing five fully staged drama productions, each
of which will be broadcast online for free between April and May 2021. Since moving
events online last year in response to the pandemic, the School has seen over 60,000
views for its broadcasts from 125 countries around the world.

During the Spring Season, final-year Actors and Production Artists have worked with
two multi-award-winning theatre companies, Barrel Organ and Breach, to create two
brand-new pieces of contemporary theatre, available to watch on demand from
Wednesday 14 until Wednesday 28 April. Working with filmmakers, these brand-new
works have been created especially for Guildhall School and for online viewing.

Jackal Run

From Wednesday 14 April, 7.30pm, on demand until Wednesday 28 April
This new piece of theatre has been created by Breach together with Guildhall School
final-year Acting students, and directed by Billy Barrett. Jackal Run was devised over an
intensive five-week period – with two weeks over zoom in lockdown, two weeks
devising in person, and a few days of filming. It was created in collaboration between
professional and student creatives and crew.
