Royal Central School of Speech and Drama - RCSSD (reviews)

Central was a completely different world, or so I imagined it to be. I had preconceptions about actors at a Drama school from watching Fame on TV, thinking that we’d all be doing dance routines and singing songs in the canteen… Day 1 wasn’t like that and neither was day 101 (which I found out when trying to start such a routine and nobody joined in!). That said, the place was an amazing experience, excellent teachers and guest directors (Thank you, I still love you for being so brilliant Fidelis…. and a little scary….). Musically we couldn’t have asked for a better combination than Dr. NIck and the absolute genius of Martin Lowe, the fabulous patience and experience of Vanessa and ALL of the teachers. I cannot recommend this seat of theatrical learning highly enough, it changed my life and brought me into a year of such excellent people, all of whom are still in touch many years after leaving.
