QMU150: A new theatre production

We were really excited to have an award-winning playwright and alum, Stef Smith, write a brand new play inspired by our heritage for our 150^th anniversary year, 'Head. Heart. Hand.'

What's more, our performing arts students had the opportunity to work with the playwright on production of this work, giving them brilliant experience of engaging with new text and an acclaimed writer.

With development in 2025, the play was performed at the Traverse Theatre 19th, 20th and 21st February 2026.
