Thunderstorm
2024-05-14 - 2024-05-17 | ADC Theatre, Park Street, Cambridge, CB5 8AS
“All is submerged in the ruthless well of the cosmos.”
Thirty years ago, Zhou Puyuan, the son of the Zhou family, engaged in a secret romantic relationship with his maid, Lu Shiping, but soon abandoned her. Three decades later, by chance, Shiping’s daughter came to work for the Zhou family again. On a hot summer day, the aged and life-wearied Shiping returned to the familiar Zhou residence to look for her daughter. She recognized Zhou Puyuan, and discovered her daughter had fallen in love with Zhou Puyuan’s son, Zhou Ping. That night, as a thunderstorm erupted, the wheels of ruthless fate began to turn, and a moment of reckoning approached.
In this ancient Chinese family, there existed someone powerful yet vulnerable, someone trapped by love yet bold. Madness and foolishness coexist. Repressed love and intense hatred intertwined.
Thunderstorm is not merely one of the most influential tragedies in the history of modern Chinese theatre, but also a poem of love and desire. This adaptation and production aim to bring a poetic presentation to the audience with new visual imagery and digital installations.
This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Nightly performances at 79.45 pm.
TUE £10-£13, WED-THU £11.50–£15, FRI–SAT £13.50–£17

One example of interesting events is The Wildlife Trust (BCN)’s annual river Cam bat punts with Scudamore’s provide one of the most exciting evening experiences of summer on the river in Cambridge. Enjoy a unique experience setting off just before dusk. Hand held bat detectors pick up on bat echolocation as the punt drifts down the river; a Wildlife Trust guide will interpret the type of bat from the clicks and squeaks of, for example, pipistrelle and Daubenton’s bats, as well as identifying all the other sounds of the riverbank – from herons and tawny owls to roosting wading birds and the occasional passing fox.
Also films, talks and events at Wimbpole Estate.

Winner of a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards, The Producers is Mel Brooks’ story of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, two theatrical producers who scheme to get rich quick by putting on the worst musical ever written.
They will raise two million dollars to finance the show, take the money, and then head to Rio when the show inevitably closes after just one performance. With tap-dancing Nazis and the worst director in town, the show is a sure-fire flop.
The Producers is a show like no other: a laugh-out-loud, outrageous, crowd-pleasing farce that has been a smash hit since its inception.
This production is recommended for ages 12 and over.
Nightly performances at 7.45 pm and matinees at 2.30 pm on Saturdays
Tickets – £13.50 to 19.00.

Party Games
2024-06-04 - 2024-06-07 | Cambridge Arts Theatre, 6 St. Andrews Passage, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB2 3PJ
A hilariously acerbic new comedy by Michael McManus, the writer of Maggie & Ted, directed by Joanna Read.
Starring Matthew Cottle (of BAFTA-nominated BBC sitcom Game On and Channel 4’s hit comedy The Windsors), Debra Stephenson (Bad Girls, Coronation Street) and Ryan Early (Coronation Street, The Archers) Party Games! puts political leadership on the ledge and goes inside the chaos of government to see whether advisers do advise and if ministers can decide.
This is the UK, 2026, John Waggner newly elected leader of the hastily formed centrist One Nation Party presides over a hung parliament, a discontented electorate and striking cheese makers.
He and his power-hungry MPs must cling onto authority through whatever shaky means possible. Can one man, a Svengali spin doctor and some dodgy data unite the country? And what role can his wife, the King and a large spider play in keeping the lights on?
