CAST 2025: Macbeth – Tour Manager, Education Officer, Malcolm

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.

CUMTS Freshers Musical 2025: RUSH! – Welfare Officer

23:00, Wed 19th – Sat 22nd November 2025 at ADC Theatre

For queen bee freshman Apple Wormwood, getting into the St. Abbing Secret Society is the ultimate ticket to campus glory. For the more cautious Liv, it looks like little more than an outdated boys’ club. But when the two join eight other hopefuls at the society’s initiation ritual, the night takes a dark and unexpected turn. What begins as harmless hazing quickly spirals into a series of blood-soaked survival challenges, where popularity points don’t mean squat and GPA won’t save your life.

RUSH! is a razor-sharp spoof of the teen slasher genre that skewers the absurdity of hazing, the toxicity of exclusivity, and the pressures of high-achieving institutions. Underneath the camp and chaos lurks a sharp jab at the high-pressure world of elite academia, where students are pushed to prove their worth – in this case, to the death.

The CUMTS Freshers Musical is the perfect way to support musical theatre newbies in Cambridge. Each year, a group of freshers get together in their first term and put on a student-written musical with the help and oversight of current CUMTS students. A show full of fresh, new talent and enthusiastic musical theatre freshers, it is not one to be missed on the CUMTS calendar. Come and show your support for the next generation!
