Cush stars in Manchester

over the past few years the Newsfeed has followed the success of former student Cush Jumbo. Cush was in many successful shows at the school including Semi Monde in the first ever common ground. After graduating from the Brit theatre course Cush joined the prestigous acting course at Central School of Speech and Drama and has gone on to perform at the Globe and in the BBCs TORCHWOOD. She has also returned to the school to run workshops, work on a new musical and give advice to current students. She is now playing Eliza in Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester. The Sunday Times described her performance as "a beautifully balanced performance: both a wounded soul and a fighting spirit".
