Anglia Contemporary Theatre

Tuesday 4 June - Thursday 6 June, 7.30pm

Cambridge Junction, Clifton Way, Cambridge, CB1 7GX


Three devised pieces presented by final year Drama and Performing Arts students at Anglia Ruskin University.

1. An exploration of identity, the poetics of the forbidden and the unlived life.

They've been travelling for decades, you might have glimpsed them on the road;
a raggedy troupe.
They've been seeking the lives they were scared to live.
Now they're ready.
Tonight the audience will come.

2. Exploring notions of desire celebrating togetherness, solitude and all the things in between. It suggests that loving can be a pretty tricky business.

How many times have I told you not to eat the crust or let your hair go curly? Why do we always have to talk about potato skin on my birthday? I love you, but I am unable to keep going like this.

3. A meeting of words, music and movement, exploring obsession in the everyday.

I can be a drum
Hollow like a drum
I can be a drum
Skin like a drum
I can be a drum
Hit me like a drum
