RAG Week: 1 – 9 February 2014

Raising and Giving (RAG) Week is all about raising lots of money for charity. We want to make RAG Week 2014 bigger, better and more purple than ever!

RAG Week is packed full with amazing events designed to raise as much money as possible for charity. Every event is planned and run by students for both town and gown to enjoy. Last year we raised over £22,000 – a record breaking amount – but this year we want to raise even more!

A great number of RAG Week 2014 events have been organised by societies who are raising money for a charity of their choice. We are looking forward to hosting a number of brilliant headline events including Catwalk, Mr St Andrews, Disney Bop, the Fine Food Fayre and more! We hope you enjoy RAG Week 2014.

Raising and Giving (RAG) Week 2014 is exclusively sponsored by KPMG.

Catwalk8pm February 8th, Venue 1Standard Tickets: £15The theme of this years show is ‘Life in Print’ encompassing the spirit of excitement and colour as exemplified through the vibrant “ikat” prints we have been working with this year. Traditionally created using an Indonesian dying technique, such prints and fabrics are now inherent to cultures throughout Asia, Africa and South America- bringing something new to the Catwalk land-scape this year! ‘Life in Print” represents the animation and creativity of our event through the colour manifestations that will tie our entire show together. Our event will be held in Venue 1 of the Union, doors at 8pm for an 8:30pm start. We hope you enjoy the Catwalk experience this year!

Wolf Whistle – Mermaids Play Friday – Sunday, February 7th - 9th The Barron Theatre £3 Three women see the same doctor on the same day for the same reason. They have stopped menstruating. ‘Wolf Whistle’ documents the story of these three women, Becca, (14 years old), a naïve but vivacious schoolgirl, Anna, (21), an uptight, third-time UCAS applicant, & Clare, (42), a childless bus driver. Told in three interweaving monologues, various traps of feminine self-delusion are exposed, and chillingly dis-sected. For tickets please see www.facebook.com/MermaidsStA.
