The Dryden Society is the resident performing arts society at Trinity College. We put productions on in Trinity itself, and provide some financial support for shows at other venues in Cambridge, the Edinburgh and Camden Fringe, and touring groups. Recent productions include 'Bloody Poetry' (2025), 'Copenhagen' (2025), 'Timon of Athens' (2024), 'Yerma' (2024), 'Romeo and Juliet' (2024), 'Gaslight' Off-West End (2023), 'God Of Carnage' (2023), and 'Arcadia' (2022).
After the society's rebirth in 2023, we have increased the number of our productions in/out of college, as well delivering fun and exciting theatrical events for our members. We have been delighted to welcome director Rupert Goold (2025), playwright Juliet Gilkes Romero (2024) and director Rebecca Frecknall (2024). The Dryden Society recently led the inaugral Arts Week at Trinity (2025).
The Dryden Society is committed to widening access to Cambridge theatre, as well as expanding knowledge of careers in theatre; turning passion into actuality.
