Head. Heart. Hand. preview performance

Head. Heart. Hand. is a powerful new play by Stef Smith, and performed by QMU Acting and Performance students, created to mark the 150th anniversary of QMU.

The play weaves together stories from the University’s notable history - from its origins as a cookery school for women, through two world wars, student protests, and a global pandemic. It explores how generations of students have responded to the challenges of their time with passion, curiosity, and care.

At its core, Head. Heart. Hand. is a story of perseverance, action, and the enduring belief in education as an act of hope.

Stef Smith studied Drama and Theatre Arts at Queen Margaret University and won an Olivier for the show RoadKill just a few years after graduating. Her plays include ‘Nora: A Doll’s House’, ‘Swallow’ and ‘Enough’; and her recent screen credits include ‘Float’, the BBC Scotland drama, which shines a light on the lives of LGBTQ+ teens living in rural communities and for which she won a BAFTA for Best Writer.

This closed preview performance is for QMU staff and students - with specific priority for students and staff in Performing Arts, Film, Media and Arts subjects. Please note it is not on general sale and tickets must be booked through this eventbrite.
