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

Let the Cambridge Impronauts transport you back to the timeless era of period drama. Join us for a story of dances and debutantes, of ruffs and reticence, of silverware and status anxiety. You choose the period; we'll supply the drama.
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?
But an hour of wig-raising, warmongering, butler-bashing and bodice-ripping is sure to straighten things out.

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.

Inspired by audience suggestions and original music, they convert the stage into a fantastic, new world with unforgettable characters and a gripping storyline.
After a sold-out run with their Michaelmas term production (The Revolution Will Not Be Improvised) that left The Cambridge Student "in stitches for practically the entire hour", the Impronauts are at it again with “Once Upon a Time”. Led by talented performers that have been called out by The Tab as "wonderfully charismatic" and "endearing and entertaining throughout", flashback to your childhood and erase those bedtime stories with a new one complete with adventure, love, and downright hilarity.
