Lent Week 7
This year marks the tenth annual Marlowe Graduating Actors’ Showcase, where a professional director chooses some of Cambridge’s most talented actors in their graduating year. Before the performance moves to its London venue for industry contacts and agents, the showcase has its home run in The ADC Theatre, the country’s oldest university playhouse, and training ground for many of the nation’s most treasured actors.
Previous performers for the Showcase include Emma Corrin (The Crown), Leopold Benedict (The Choral), Isobel Laidler (The Witcher) and John Tothill (This Must Be Heaven). Production alumni include Six! The Musical composer Toby Marlow, and their Hot Gay Time Machine co-writer Zak Ghazi-Torbati.
Our director this year is Cambridge alumnus John Haidar, whose production of Hamlet at The Old Vic was listed in The Observer's 10 Best Shows of 2022, and shown in cinemas across the UK and Ireland.
The ADC's matinee performance promises to be a glimpse into the start of these talented young actors' careers.
