TTA POLL: Newcomer

Whilst freshers are more prone to getting lost, getting confused at Cambridge traditions (May Week in June?) and generally just being more of a pain than other students, they have totally smashed the theatre scene this year! Now we celebrate the “best” newcomers.

Please vote for your best-but-not-actually-the-best-more-a-subjective-view-of-a-number-of-respondents newcomer. Congratulations to all!
