‘To improvise or not to improvise? That is the question; whether ‘tis funnier on the stage to witness the jokes and slapstick of a comic playwright, or to take arms against such scripted drama and by ad-libbing beat them…’
In a valiant bid to Become Literary, The Cambridge Impronauts now present a series of all-new Shakespeare plays! Entirely improvised on the night based on audience suggestions, these rediscovered bardic masterpieces shall prove worthy additions to the First Folio. Shudder at an elevated and ruinous Tragedie! Roar at the farcical confusion of a fine Comedie! Gasp at the political insight of an highly accurate Historie! Tell us what a Late Romance is supposed to be!
Come join us, then! You know the play’s the thing / Wherein we’ll have to make up everything.

Ladies & gents, strap yourselves in because we’re in for a hell of a ride and the stakes have never been higher. Join the Cambridge Impronauts for an unforgettable interrogation as we pull back the curtain of mystery shrouding Britain’s most secret of organisations, and flush out the double agent lurking within. Of course, to a true spy master, this interrogation is merely a formality. You need look no further than the events of that morning and it’s clear as day who can’t be trusted…
Every story and secret is provided by you, the audience, to create a performance never seen before and never to be seen again. Shocking revelations will be made, stories will twist and crack under scrutiny, and the truth will be dragged, kicking and screaming into the light. Everyone has their own agenda, no-one is to be trusted, but justice will prevail before the night is out.

Whether it contains plucky orphans, devilish businessmen or tyrannical step-parents; each story has never been seen before, nor will it be seen again.

Will the foppish bohemian win the duchess's hand from the slimy archduke? Will the mistress of the house frolic with the footman, or will he be too busy getting kinky with the kitchen boy? And will anyone ever get a bloody job? Who knows?

Audience suggestions give lifeblood to a monstrous creation, meaning that a new tale of woe is constructed every single night.
Scream as the Archmage Dung Beetle unleashes an army of resurrected fridges to blast a hole in the Boyzone layer. Cry out in horror as the Devil himself takes on the Corpus Chronophage at Connect Four to see who will gain custody of George Lucas’ soul. Cackle with malevolent glee as the mutated form of Alan Sugar’s head transplanted onto the body of a tapir runs amok in Norman Bates’ kitchen.
If you don’t come out laughing, you won’t come out at all!
