Leo Parker-Rees

Opinion Co-Editor

Christ's, Management

Leo describes himself as a Man of Philosophy, despite failing to get a first for three years in a row. He began writing for The Tab as a Theatre Critic, but soon ran out of pithy variations of "sloppy and under-rehearsed". Refusing, on point of principle, to write tedious, Varsity-style plot-summaries in place of real criticism, he decided to become Opinion Co-Editor, a role enabling him to criticise everything, and encourage criticism from others. He still reviews plays occasionally - when, as he hatefully puts it, "The Theatre needs me".
