ABOUT OUDS:

Founded in 1885 by Alec MacKinnon on the premise that OUDS would be "free from club and class jealousies" and with the intention of being different from other clubs which had acquired a bad name for their less than orderly behavior, OUDS today is responsible for the most exciting and experimental theatre in Oxford. Among OUDS distinguished productions was the 1966 staging of Dr. Faustus starring both Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, supported by a company of undergraduate actors. Past members and directors include John Gielgud, George Divine, Edith Evans, Vivien Leigh, Kenneth Tynan, Caryl Churchill and Dudley Moore to name a few.

OUDS provides strong support for budding new writers, as well as reviving classic texts, presenting fully staged productions at Oxford University. OUDS tours nationally and internationally. Previous tours have taken OUDS productions to Edinburgh, London, and for the last three years OUDS has performed at the Saitama Arts Theatre near Tokyo, Japan, in Loves Labours Lost (2001), The Winters Tale (2002), The Taming of the Shrew and Macbeth (1998).
