  • The Monstrum

    Bilborough College is presenting ‘The Monstrum’ on 29 & 30 March at 7:30pm in the Theatre.

    In a cold village on the edge of nowhere, a disease has The Monstrum Posterbroken out, infecting the young and transforming them into monstrous creatures. The villagers fearfully watch their children for symptoms of the disease, whilst the Mayor has adopted tough measures for dealing with those who are infected. When Bolek, the local scholar, makes a breakthrough in finding a cure, few are prepared for the gruesome nature of the treatment. But with his own daughter showing signs of infection, there is no choice than to stop this terrible disease dead in its tracks. A gothic melodrama about the terrifying onset of adolescence.

    Tickets can be purchased on Wisepay, or by emailing tracy.thompson@bilborough.ac.uk

    Additionally, the show will be on at Derby Theatre on the 24 April at 6pm.
