Hi All,

We are crowdfunding to raise money to put together our student led play Carte Blanche.

Carte Blanche is an exciting new play that has been written by student Maria Sigrid Remme.

After the death of her grandfather, Lisa Blanche is left with the task of undertaking one of the requirements of his will: to find out what happened to his brother Pierre. At the same time, seventy years earlier in the trenches of France, Jamie MaCloy, a sniper who has returned to his post befriends a French soldier, named Pierre Delacroix. Little does Jamie know that his friendship with Pierre does not only shine a new light upon the horrors of the war, but will shape him and the decisions he makes afterwards. Set in 1917 and in 1980, the play follows both groups of characters and the challenges that they face.

We would be so grateful if you would be able to give whatever you can to help us bring this wonderful script to fruition. The funds raised would be put towards props, costumes, programmes etc. to enable us to make this play the best it can be!

Watch this space for updates and to follow our rehearsal journey.

Thank you in advance for all your support!
