Adrian joined the college when it was known as the Melton College of Further Education, he told us: “In all of my education I was most happy at Melton College. I was not particularly academic, and Drama in those days was regarded either as a dead-end job for wasters, or as a hopeless pipe dream. My time at school had not been easy, so when I finally got to do what I’d wanted to do for years, it was so stimulating and satisfying. The tutors were incredibly committed and pushed us very hard. I owe them enormous gratitude for their encouragement and care. They quite literally changed the course of my life. I loved it! I went on to continue my training at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School”
