THE RED VIAL: A DRAMA IN THREE ACTS  

(2011 REVIVAL)

[ The Red Vial - 1858 Production ]

 

The Red Vial at Birmingham University

Birmingham University production in February 2011

 

A new production by the Department of Drama and Theatre Arts of Birmingham University is, as far as known, the first performance of The Red Vial since 1858.  Unlike various modern adaptations of Collins's works, this production used a script taken from the original manuscript.  The play ran from 10-12 February 2011 and was directed by Dr Caroline Radcliffe.  All other aspects of the play such as lighting music and set design were the responsibility of the students of the Drama and Arts Department.
