Cambridge's first ever burlesque extravaganza, THE CARDINAL CLUB, presents
a unique opportunity for you to be part of an exciting project while
supporting a new arts venture.
The Cardinal Club will be Cambridge’s most desired Valentine desination .
Drawing on the influences of the cabaret bars of 1930s Berlin, speakeasies
of the prohibition era and freakshows of Victorian England, it will create
a melting pot of weird and wonderful acts to delight, shock, tease and
shamelessly entertain.
The show will mix from a palette of magicians, comedians, singers, novelty
acts and classic vaudeville dancers. We will guide the audience through the
evening's cavalcade of entertainers, stitching together a non-stop show
that glides from the sensational to the bizarre.

A classic comedy by Neil Simon ("The Odd Couple") about a long-since-broken-up comic duo who are persuaded to reunite for a television special, despite mutual dislike.
Really great, modest cast.

"Don't leave your kids alone to play with fire."
January 16th 1969. A Czech student named Jan Palach sets fire to himself in Wenceslas Square, in protest against the Russian invasion. On January 17th 1969, he was headline news - but the evening edition of any decent newspaper carries a new headline. Was his sacrifice doomed to failure? How can any of us make a difference? Can we express ourselves better through advertising slogans than we can through Shakespeare? Palach is a patchwork of texts, sound and images that dissects the nature of theatre, communication and protest. Performed simultaneously on four mini-stages, you are invited to choose what to watch - and what to think.

CADS is proud to present its annual freshers' show. This year, it's a romantic comedy for Valentine's weekend... but it's a romance with a difference. Adam Trainsmith is not expecting to fall in love when he visits the set of burnt-out director Chandler Tate's rubbish medical soap 'Hospital Hearts', but fall in love he does. With a robot called Jacie...

The first thing people remember about 'The Crucible' is that it's about witches. The second thing is that it's a metaphor for McCarthyism in 1950s America. The third thing is that it's where they have the snooker championships. The last remembrance aside, the witch/McCarthyist aspect was what drove Miller to write in the first place. However, some years after its completion, he considered its purpose to have changed: 'It's about Proctor's guilt', he said.
