DUCT - Durham University Classical Theatre
DUCT is Durham's only theatrical company dedicated to solely producing works over a hundred years old.
DUCT was founded in 2011 with three core principles in mind: to produce works written over one hundred years ago or with a subject matter concerning events over a hundred years old; to revive forgotten works and to provide a platform for the Durham community to get involved in and stage pieces of classical theatre.
OPENING TONIGHT AT THE ASSEMBLY ROOMS THEATRE
DUCT - Durham University Classical Theatre present The Rivals, a comedy of manners filled with fun, farce and frills - fun for all the family with free tickets for under-16s.
