PUPILS with a passion for drama have a new Oxford base in which to practise.

The Theatre Academy at Magdalen College School, currently based at the school in Cowley Place, has announced a move to Pegasus Theatre in Magdalen Road.

MCS said the ‘exciting change’ meant students can access professional acting space, equipment and coaching.

The youth theatre will become home to acting classes for pupils in years 9-11.

There will be spaces for pupils from the same years in other Oxford schools. Parents of such pupils can contact MCS for details.
