Experimental Theatre Club

Not to be confused with La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club.

The Experimental Theatre Club (ETC) is a student dramatic society at the University of Oxford, England.[1] It was founded in 1936 by Nevill Coghill as an alternative company to the Oxford University Dramatic Society (OUDS), and produces several productions a year.[2]

The club has staged the first productions of many new works, including Epitaph for George Dillon, written by John Osborne in 1957 and directed by Don Taylor.[3]
