Michaelmas Week 8 to Lent Week 0
Bright lights and carousels, screams, swings, and thrills: The Taming of the Shrew is the story of showmen. In Shakespeare's celebrated comedy, it is the 1950s, and a travelling funfair has just rolled into town. On the
surface, it is a dream-world of riches, romance, and riot; but underneath it all lurks the anarchic subculture of these unsettled entertainers, living on the very edge of society. Here, corruption and wickedness
pervade, morality is a mere aberration, and nothing is quite as it seems. But appearances must be kept up, and the show will go on.
As the oldest and most prestigious touring theatre society in Cambridge, ETG tours a Shakespearean play, along with full set and professional lighting and sound equipment, around Europe by coach for just over two weeks each December as soon as Michaelmas term has finished. Full details of the tour and what it entails can be found at www.cuetg.co.uk.
