Drama: The More Beautiful Game

A Brand new comedy drama coming to URY at 3:00 on the 26th of June

'The More Beautiful Game' is a full length play coming week 9 to URY from student writer James Bugg.

Its the story of a Yorkshireman and world class athlete, Geoff  Batterson (played by Chris White) who wants to see his sport in the 2012 London Olympics.

There is a catch though.

The sport is table football and he has a challange on his hands not just from the olympic commitee but also from rising table football star Kazayuki Takamoto who threatens Batterson's place as World Number 1.

As the hearing and the table football world cup final approach Geoff, along with his best friend Alan (Dan Wood) test there friendship and there devotion to the more beautiful game.

Recording has been a great experience often seeing the cast recording while playing intense and physically demanding table football in locations across campus in an effort to make one of the best dramas URY has seen to date.
