Three alumnae from the University of Winchester are starring in productions at Southampton's So: Fringe arts festival, which runs from July 11-13.

Charly Armstrong, a drama and performing arts graduate, will appear in 'Spitfire Patrol!', a one-act play about the wartime antics of a Girl Guide troop, staged by her theatre company, The Garret Theatre Co.

Additionally, 'Wasn’t There a Man?' a theatre company established by Winchester graduates Taya Campbell Over and Maijai Hibberd-Biss, will present a distinctive rendition of 'Pride and Prejudice'.

This version of the classic includes improvised movements and a pared-down cast of four, offering an unusual theatrical experience.

'Pride and Prejudice' will be performed at MAST on July 11 at 8pm, while 'Spitfire Patrol!' has a matinee slot on July 13 at 12.45pm.

The show will also support the Foxie’s Future campaign, a charitable endeavour aiming to save a former Girl Guide base from closure.

Senior lecturer in Drama at the University of Winchester, Helen Grime, said: "It is great to see University of Winchester alumni theatre companies taking their work out into the local area, especially so soon after graduating.

"It is a tribute to the tenacity and creativity of our graduates and to the teaching team in the Department of Performing Arts who support and encourage students to explore ways of creating their own work."
