Making a play for diversity - Eastern Eye

"Spurned by peers, Oxford's BAME students stage drama to acclaim Asian undergraduates at Oxford have joined forces with their fel­low black students to mount a dramatic act of rebellion that they claim has “never happened before” at the university. The students have successfully put on a play in which every mem­ber of the cast and production team was from a BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) background." - Amit Roy
