I was chatting with my first year IB theatre students,  Jeff, Tim and Clarissa, this week. I wanted to know what their university plans were. Not one of them knew – fair enough – but made me smile with the comment that ‘well we know it won’t be medicine because we are here talking to you’. So when my colleague John (thanks mate) posted this it struck me as being very prescient. It is 20 minutes long, but worth every minute and should inspire any student of the arts to take a leap of faith
