Noel Coward's Private Lives
2026-02-11 - 2026-02-15 | ADC Theatre, Park Street, Cambridge, CB5 8AS
Elyot and Amanda are happily married; just not to each other. Five years after their tempestuous divorce, they find themselves in adjoining hotel suites on their honeymoons with their new, significantly younger spouses, Sibyl and Victor.
The setup is a recipe for disaster: Elyot and Amanda’s three-year marriage was as passionate as it was explosive, ending in tragedy. Now, their unsuspecting new partners, already uneasy about their spouses’ pasts, find themselves caught in the crossfire.
Beneath the haze of cigarette smoke, the sparkle of champagne, and its razor-sharp wit, Private Lives charts the thin line between love and hate, pleasure and pain. Noël Coward’s classic comedy of manners remains as dazzling, biting, and absurdly relatable as ever: a portrait of two people who can’t live with or without each other.
This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Nightly performances at 7.45 pm with a matinee at 2.30 on the Saturday
Tickets – £10.00 to £17.50

Michael Portillo - A Life of Two Halves
2026-02-23 - 2026-02-24 | Cambridge Corn Exchange, 2 Wheeler Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB2 3QB, United Kingdom
Secretary of State. Traveller. TV superstar. The inimitable Michael Portillo joins us live on stage to share funny, insightful, and poignant stories from his extraordinarily rich and varied life.
The son of a refugee who rose to become one of Britain’s leading politicians and best loved broadcasters, Michael Portillo’s life has been a game of two halves. As a statesman he served under Margaret Thatcher, ran for the leadership of the Conservative Party, and lost his seat in one of the most famous moments in British political history, only to become one of the nation’s favourite broadcasters, sparring with Diane Abbott and Andrew O’Neill and enthralling millions of us with his travels on the world’s greatest railways.
In this unique stage show, Michael will share his life story, from his late father’s experiences of the Spanish Civil War and escape to England, where he and Michael’s mother met while looking after refugee children, all the way to his present-day adventures travelling across Spain, the USA, India, and beyond.
We’ll hear Michael’s funny and insightful observations about his old boss Margaret Thatcher and his reflections on the decay of political power. He’ll tell us about his break into TV – including the time he became a single mum… And, of course, we’ll hear about the great railway journeys he has undertaken and what they can tell us about the history and state of the world today.
Whether you are passionate about politics or a fan of Michael’s many international adventures, this is an unmissable treat. All aboard!
Time – 19:30
Cost – £33.00 – £47.99 (Including booking fee)

Five members of renowned vocal ensemble I Fagiolini present an evening of songs and piano pieces, created especially for Stapleford Granary.
Anna Markland’s programme extends the intimacy of the domestic setting, complementing Brahms’ vocal quartets with songs and piano pieces by the two composers closest to Brahms; Clara and Robert Schumann. The personality of Clara herself dominates the song outputs of both of the men, symbolic to them of all that was good in German life and art, and reflecting the complex personal and artistic relationship between these three pillars of German Romantic music.
