Brittany Field is in her third year of a three year BA (Hons) Musical Theatre course at Guildford School of Acting in Surrey, UK. With two more years before graduation Brittany is extremely grateful to have been selected for a HEFCE award to fund her final two years.

"Thank you to all my teachers and staff at GSA for their direction and support. I'm looking forward to putting everything I have into my final two years. GSA is the best! A big thank you also goes to my family with me in the UK and back in Australia, especially my Nana & Pop in Maitland and my Aunty Christine & Uncle Joel in Newcastle who have always gone above and beyond to help me to get this far. Imagine having to sit through eisteddfods and concerts for at least 13 years in a row."

Thank you to Duncan and all my colleagues at the Party Superstore in Clapham Junction who I have worked with for the past four years as a part-timer until the summer riots when our happy shop was destroyed. Good luck in your temporary premises until the store is rebuilt.
