who we are

The Bangor English Dramatic Society (BEDS) is at the forefront of the large student acting scene in Bangor. We produce four to five plays each academic year ranging from classic masterpieces such as 'The Importance of Being Earnest', to modern plays such as 'Closer' by Patrick Marber - and we have even ventured into fantasy with 2009's 'Terry Pratchett's Wyrd Sisters'.

This year, we are hoping to take a show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and to do a play in Welsh, along with many other ventures!
