One of Shakespeare’s most famous comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream tells the whirlwind story of expectations and dreams and getting lost in the in-between. This chaotic tale unfolds in the magical midnight world of the Athenian forest where the air is pierced with jealousy, unrequited love, and delicious confusion. As they enter the forest, the Athenians are caught in Titania and Oberon’s quarrel over a child, both fairies desperate to follow their dreams of motherhood. Determined and yet disoriented, the humans are left to grapple with new identities and unexpected declarations of love.

Founded in 1957 by a group of students including Derek Jacobi and Trevor Nunn, ETG is an all-student theatre company that tours Europe with a Shakespeare play at the start of the Christmas holidays every year. Last year’s tour went to Chantilly, Leuven, Frankfurt, Montreux, Konstanz, Bern and Antwerp before coming to Cambridge for a run at the ADC Theatre in January.

On a cold Moscow night in 1925, a stray dog is lured to the laboratory of a rich and eccentric professor, where his endocrine system is replaced with that of a recently deceased man. As the dog morphs into an increasingly human creature, the professor's hitherto respectable life becomes a nightmare. The creature's interest in revolutionary values wars with the traditional views of the professor, the housing committee banging at his door to divide up his flat for increased occupancy. A black comedy based on the work of Kiev-born author Mikhail Bulgakov (most famous for 'The Master and Margarita'), 'Heart of a Dog' brings a cult Soviet satire for the first time to the English stage.

Trivia is a monologue spoken by George, a struggling final year PhD student of
Literature. Every term holiday, George tells us, he must embark home to the domain of
his well-meaning mother and her new partner, Dave. Dave is fantastic at pub quizzes.
Dave will mow you down with his encyclopaedic grasp of football teams, cricket scores
and 70’s sitcoms. Dave thinks George’s academic knowledge is useless; not part of the
‘real world.’ George thinks Dave’s knowledge is, well, just trivia. George’s monologue
invites us on one of these holiday trips to the pub quiz, where Cambridge-clever and
pub-quiz-clever collide.

Katherine Stockton is an award-winning and published scriptwriter and poet, with a

Film project across the course of Lent term.

Pride and Prejudice: A Concept Film is a short film version of Jane Austen’s beloved social comedy/romance. It is condensed down to four scenes, in order to illustrate the wider vision for a full filmed production!

Pride and Prejudice is arguably Jane Austen’s most beloved social comedy and love story. It tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters, coming of age in Regency England. As she falls in love with Fitzwilliam Darcy, a man she had sworn to despise, the couple must overcome the titular flaws of pride and prejudice to find their happy ending.
