This week, students up and down the country are settling into university. And in the rehearsal room for Jamie Bogyo’s brand new play, Safe Space, we’re exploring the Ivy-league halls of one of America’s top universities.

Take a look behind the scenes of this bracing new play in the rehearsal photos.

Safe Space follows a group of students fighting to change the name of their college. Their campaign sparks debate across campus, and relationships hang in the balance when differences surface between friends and lovers.

The Grace Hopper College at Yale University was renamed from Calhoun College in 2017. Jamie Bogyo’s debut play imagines how the protests and petitions which led up to this change affected the lives of those studying and living there.

This fresh new play weaves laugh-out-loud humour and glorious music into a powerful and pertinent story that invites the audience to challenge our own values and biases.
