THEATRE: This Week

Let theatre cast a soft glow of enlightenment over a damp and dismal Week Two.


At the ADC

Caravan Tue 18th October – Sat 22nd October at 7:45pm

The “harrowing and hilarious” Caravan “follows the quiet chaos and collapse of this increasingly clashing family”. Not for the faint-hearted, this award-winning play deals with family conflict in a claustrophobic environment and will draw the audience into the family’s “complex web of entanglement”.

“a pinhole look into an ordinary life, marred by hardship”

Cambridge Shorts Tue 18th October at 11pm

A showcase of Cambridge’s aspiring student filmmakers, Cambridge Shorts is a “great way to experience more of the rapidly expanding film scene”. See six films ranging from “genre-subverting” Wild Western romance, to “informative and entertaining” student drug-dealing for one night only.

Have I Got to Mock the Buzzcocks Ja Vu: A Panel Show Sequel Wed 19th October – Sat 22nd October at 11pm

The catchily named HIGTMTBJA returns. Starring some of the biggest names in Cambridge comedy, this panel show is completely improvised and will include a “mix of games from your favourite panel shows”. After the original received 5* reviews, this “semi-fresh alternative comedy night” is back for a bigger and better evening of eclectic amusement.

At CORPUS PLAYROOM

Posh Tue 18th October 2016 – Sat 22nd October at 7pm

Corpus’ mainshow invites you to “carpe some fucking diem” in a “night you won’t be able to forget” – hopefully for the right reasons. An elite group of privately educated Cambridge undergraduates will be playing an “elite group of privately-educated Oxford undergraduates” as Posh examines themes of class and privilege. Very meta.

featuring “disputes with a pub owner, his daughter, and a call girl”

Offending the Audience Tue 18th October – Sat 22nd October at 9:30pm

If you don’t like plays, go see this one. Offending the Audience “is not a play” and will instead confuse your expectations to present an evening of “something different”. Get ready to be offended.
