CAST 2025: Macbeth – Get-Out Helper

13:00, Thu 19th June 2025 at Town and Gown Theatre

We are excited to announce our touring production of Macbeth, supported by CAST and Cambridge in
America. As a company we have worked to foreground reproductive anxieties latent in the text,
contextualizing Macbeth’s ‘fruitless crown’ in the wake of a recent and painful still-birth, which in turn
sharpens Lady Macbeth’s famous reproductive language: ‘take my milk for gall’; ‘I have given suck and know how tender ‘tis to love the babe that milks me’. The detailed medieval costume against the paired back set places primacy on the actor rather than our ever changing stages, aiding in the flexibility of our production and retaining the all important ‘emotional blocking’ at the core of our affective vision.

Macbeth is the 25th CAST production to travel America, following the success of last year’s Julius Caesar. CAST aims at spreading Shakespeare far and wide, both as an educational introduction to the infamous bard, and to stretch and stimulate new discussion among those already acquainted with his works, and Macbeth specifically.

ETG 2025: The Comedy of Errors – CLX

19:45, Tue 20th – Sat 24th January 2026 at ADC Theatre

ETG is back for 2025! Cambridge University European Theatre Group is an all-student company that has been performing Shakespeare plays to audiences across Europe since 1957 and this year, we'll be bringing fun and fascination to the people with The Comedy of Errors. One of Shakespeare’s most fascinating and hilarious works, The Comedy of Errors is a full-blown farce, set in the mysterious and enchanting coastal town of Ephesus; it chronicles the story of two sets of twins, separated when young, who cause mayhem when they find themselves in the same city many years later.

Our interpretation of this hilarious romp brings out the punky, youthful, rebellious and subversive nature of Shakespeare. With energetic costumes, thrilling fights and troublesome seagulls, we want to strip back the restriction of the theatrical space, and invite the audience to share in the delight of one of Shakespeare's most electrifying comedies.
