REVIEWED : Hot Mess
By Annabel Romanos Hot Mess was a genuinely charming piece of theatre. When I first heard that a show was being put on in The Lizard, my heart dropped (in the best way possible) because that place is my JAM. And despite the show having to move into 601 (for health and safety […]
On The Rocks : An Acrostic Poem
By Sammy Evans Overground for the underground St Andrews, Saturday Night in 601, to Strictly Come Dancing, because not just old ladies love to watch The tango, maybe a Cellidh, or a Jam, or see a Doctor or go Home? Get Educated by Rita, visit the Animal Farm, or maybe let Fate decide? Read some […]

PREVIEW: The Phrase
On Thursday 7th April from 6-9pm, head to the Barron Theatre to check out “The Phrase.” This dance show presents several original dance pieces that cover a variety of styles, to create the idea that small phrases and ideas come together to make a complete whole. The event was inspired by 2014’s ‘Impulse’ and ‘(un)Conscious’ […]
REVIEWED: DRA/FP Ball
by Marina Carnwath This year’s DRA/FP Ball was the first to charge its residents for the privilege of attending. Traditionally the ticket price is included in the accommodation costs, meaning that charging extra left the committee in a position of having to prove the value of their event. Fortunately the weight of opinion came […]
REVIEWED: Don’t Guac
By Sam Oshins Let’s be clear, Don’t Guac invited guests to gorge themselves on as much guacamole as they could for as long as they could stand. At first I thought this was too good to be true. Was this really going to be an event that encouraged maximum consumption of guacamole? Yes. Yes, it […]
REVIEWED: Catwalk
By Marina Carnwath Following a year-long break, due to the reconstruction of the union, Catwalk returned to RAG week last weekend. Being held in 601, the event didn’t really have the same sense of glamorous hype surrounding it in the run up, but rather a sense of fun. The models walking down the cross-shaped runway […]
REVIEWED: Welly Ball
The Welly Ball After Party (where you might as well have worn a rain jacket too) By Anonymous The Welly Ball after party was a thrilling, three-fold challenge. At the start of the night, my friend and I arrived to a long queue of excited, chatty students outside Younger Hall, squirming in the light, drizzling […]

PREVIEW: Pigeons and Peacocks by Under Canvas
Our friends at Under Canvas have promised to bring us various events throughout the year to get us excited for the main event coming in April. In Freshers’ Week the team behind St Andrews’ own mini music festival, in support of Cystic Fibrosis Trust, bestowed on us a night of jamming house and techno with their inaugural […]
Coffee House Sessions // Luke Sital-Singh
By Annie Moser Coffee House Sessions are back at Rector’s with Luke Sital-Singh kicking it off. Armed with just his guitar and voice, Sitgal-Singh’s indie-folk style quickly won over the crowd. Sitgal-Singh’s music is intense, dominated by his powerful voice that delivers unique sound and harmonies. My personal favorite of the evening ‘Nothing Stays the […]
Mörder Auditions!
On the Rocks’ newest event is going to be Grimm, Brothers! For their biggest event of the semester, On the Rocks will be taking over the St Andrews Castle for an immersive murder mystery where they’ll be bringing the most famous Grimm Brothers tales to life. During “Mörder” audiences will be led throughout the castle, […]
REVIEWED: The Waste Land
By Catriona Lamb The cast and crew of The Wasteland set themselves quite a challenge in dramatising one of the most influential literary works of the 19th century and boy, did they deliver! Walking into the theatre, the audience was faced with the six sombre faces of the cast accompanied by a wave of classical […]

Jack Lowden, the main star in the “Chariots of […]
REVIEWED : Starfields
by Marina Carnwath Check out our footage of the night : STARfields ’15 In retrospect, it’s always difficult to distinguish the quality of an event from your own perception of it, so I’m just going to say now that I, personally, enjoyed Starfields. It was just a great night. It made one attendee feel “warm […]
