Dramsoc ripped-off?

Recent attempts to publicise Dramsoc’s upcoming production of Christopher Marlowe’s Edward II have run into difficulties after over forty posters were ripped off the Sherfield walkway notice boards. Speaking to Felix Mike Wyer, Dramsoc’s publicity officer, described how an evening’s work was mysteriously censored overnight.

With less than half a dozen posters remaining from the original fifty, speculation is rife as to why bizarre and possibly malicious attack occurred. Since the play deals with sex, violence, and gay relationships it has been suggested that homophobic tendencies may have taken offence. Dramsoc sources have denied allegation that they may have incited animosity from other Imperial College Union clubs or societies, and insist that they will be protesting to the Union.

Suggestions that this week’s high winds may be responsible for the posters disappearance have been discounted by Dramsoc members
