January 2019, Headmaster Porter Theatre, Framlingham College, Suffolk
Rupert's final performance at Framlingham College was in 4.48 Psychosis, in which he was one of three characters. As none of the characters are named, each part represented a different emotion of the playwright Sarah Kane. All the set, costume, and lighting design was also conceived and created by the group of performers.
December 2018, Headmaster Porter Theatre, Framlingham College, Suffolk
