We are pleased to advise that Victoriana! is “in the can” – in other words filming is complete. But we regret to advise that, due to technical issues, the final recording will not be ready for broadcast this weekend. For that, we as Producer and Director are very sorry, not least because we know of many Paulines who have arranged dinner parties around the screening and we know that both the undergraduate College and Graduate House have scheduled their own in house screenings before live audiences. We are sorry also for the unavoidable late notice. But we didn’t want to compromise the integrity of something which is going to be really special by cutting corners at the last minute. Hopefully, the planned social functions can go ahead this weekend notwithstanding, and we will advise the new dates just as soon as the project is absolutely complete. Her Late Majesty
Accidental Death of an Anarchist by Dario Fo The play is a farce, loosely based on an investigation into the “accidental” death of a railway worker in Milan, which was covered up by the police. Fo wrote this play to expose police corruption and hopefully incite another investigation into the incident. Staring a bunch of anarchic delinquents from Graduate House! Showing 10 October 2020 at 2:30pm in the Refectory, McMillan Building, St Paul’s College Graduate House. For tickets CLICK HERE

After many months of refurbishment the College’s pipe organ has begun normal duties supporting services of worship in the College Chapel under the COVID-safe (no congregational singing) requirements. The opening recital has been postponed to the new year. Internationally- acclaimed concert organist David Drury is the Director of Music at the College and has led our musical programme since his appointment in 1992. David is looking forward to presenting his program when circumstances allow for a reasonable audience to attend the Chapel for this very special event. The programme will include well known pieces by JS Bach, Charpentier, Moreau, Peeters, Handel, Vivaldi, Buxtehude, Erbach and Karg-Elert. All welcome As usual this recital will be ‘exit by donation’ in support of the College’s Chapel Music Fund. During the recital the Chaplain will re-dedicate the organ and we will be recognising the very generous support of the Albert Family, the original donors
