My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?), starring and written by Rob Madge, former Ashbourne student, hit the West End in London for a second run in October.
Rob joined Ashbourne on a full scholarship and embraced college life wholeheartedly becoming co-president of the student council and excelling in all subjects.
“Rob was a role model and innately talented,” reminisces Fran who taught drama at the time.
Rob’s first year drama production received the highest ever grade and their final year play Viable even made it to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival at the performance space.
Ashbourne has been fortunate to enrol exceptional scholarship students over the years including graduates from the Sylvia Young’s specialist theatre school which includes, most recently, Rob Madge.
