ADC Theatre Spring 2013 Season Brochure by ADC Theatre

welcome

to another season of high-quality theatre at the ADC Theatre and Corpus Playroom Our Spring Season has a fantastic variety of shows on offer; the highlights include Anton – a Chekhov double-bill of Ivanov and Three Sisters – and Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida. The two Chekhov plays will run on alternate nights, and will see the ADC stage used in-the-round for the first time. The Tony Award-winning musical Aida tells a captivating story of love in Ancient Egypt, from the writers of The Lion King. Spring 2013 also sees a wide range of drama at both of our spaces: from Rattigan, Shakespeare and Pinter to Tony Kushner’s brilliant epic, Angels in America: Part One – Millennium Approaches, as well as a host of new plays written by students. To counterpoint this heady collection of drama, we have light-hearted shows throughout the season. The energetic farce An Italian Straw Hat opens our lateshow season, accompanied by sketch comedy, new comic plays, and standup, before Dressing Down, the 2013 Footlights Spring Revue. Spring 2013 will be an exciting season for musical theatre lovers as well: the ADC Theatre will host our first ever 24hr Musical, Stephen Sondheim’s Company, and the ever-popular Musical Theatre Gala Night, while The Improvised Musical returns to the Playroom for a five-night run. Something completely different is happening in the Larkum Studio as well, as it transforms into a young couple’s bedroom where you can observe an entirely improvised story evolving in real time every night: The Bedroom Exercise is an exciting immersive piece with limited availability.

welcome

Get Involved! The ADC Theatre is at the heart of Cambridge’s thriving theatre scene. We host a wide range of productions, each crafted to a high standard: with an average of between 4 and 6 different shows a week, we are one of the most exciting venues in the region. What really sets us apart, however, is that every one of our the productions both at the ADC Theatre and at the Corpus Playroom is entirely put together by students and volunteers; we always aim to present the highest quality nonprofessional work in Cambridge and the local area. Alongside the variety of our programme, we take great pride in the extraordinary opportunities that our shows provide: over the last year, more than 750 people have been involved with productions at our venues. We believe that it is the pride and care that our companies take in their work that makes the ADC Theatre what it is. Most of our shows, whether student or local amateur group, hold open auditions for cast, and more information can be found on our website at adctheatre.com/acting. We don’t just support actors and directors however: there is are a wide range of opportunities available in a huge variety of other roles that may not be immediately obvious while sitting in the auditorium: visit adctheatre.com/backstage for details.

The Merchant of Venice

Bawds theatre drama adc

by William Shakespeare

Young hot-shot Bassanio’s in a hell of a lot of debt. His solution? To court and marry wealthy heiress, Portia. All he needs is a good suit, a speedy boat and a loan of three thousand ducats. But if the loan isn’t repaid in time, money-lender Shylock will be demanding more than just cash… This winter, Cambridge’s longest-running theatre tour will be taking on Shakespeare’s most controversial ‘comedy’. Set in the urban playground that is contemporary Naples, this daring production will look with unflinching eyes at man’s inhumanity to man, and the Western world’s obsession with wealth and beauty, through the lenses of Berlusconi’s immigration policy, the shiny horror of reality television, and the inertia and despondency of euro-trash youth culture.

14 – 20 January

European Theatre Group

The Last Yankee by Arthur Miller

room drama play

In the waiting room of a State mental institution sit two men, there to visit their wives who are both suffering from depression. Frick, a successful nononsense businessman, is shocked to find that the other man, Leroy Hamilton, though descended from one of the Founding Fathers of the USA, is by profession a carpenter – and a fairly contented one to boot. As we meet their respective wives, the play opens up some of the psycho-moral paradoxes haunting contemporary life.

The Deep Blue Sea

drama

adc theatre

by Terence Rattigan

‘When you’re caught between any kind of devil and the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea can sometimes look very inviting…’ Terence Rattigan’s modern masterpiece portrays a day in the life of Hester Collyer. Caught in a cobweb of decaying relationships – to her husband, her lover, her landlady, her neighbours – she remains alone and hopeless in a small, dishevelled London flat. In this smart and simple production of one of the 20th century’s most moving tragedies, the biggest questions are explored in the most human way.

‘That word we were talking about just now. Shall we call it love? It saves a lot of trouble.’ Performances (ADC Theatre) Tue 29 January – Sat 2 February at 7.45pm Tickets Tue & Wed £8/£6, Thu – Sat £10/£8

Amateur Dramatic Club The Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club is the oldest and largest student drama society in Cambridge. The first performances on the site were staged by the founders of the Club in 1855. As the CUADC expanded, the students bought the building (originally the Hoop Inn) and turned it into the ADC Theatre. The freehold of the building is still owned by the members of the Club today.

The Goat or Who is Sylvia?

28 Jan – 3 Feb

Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club

room drama play

by Edward Albee

Edward Albee’s Tony Award-winning play is a brilliantly funny and painfully tragic portrait of a family in crisis. Hilarious and poignant in equal measure, The Goat or Who is Sylvia? laces broad tragedy with sharp-edged comedy, challenging its audience both to correct their grammar and to re-examine their notion of acceptable love. Locked in the claustrophobia of the Corpus Playroom, we are intruders on a scene of which we are also inevitably a part… Performances (Corpus Playroom) Tue 29 January – Sat 2 February at 7.00pm

As well as being the main production company at the Theatre, the CUADC are a focus for student dramatic activity in Cambridge, running workshops and encouraging participation in theatre. The CUADC present a varied programme of mainshows and lateshows at the Theatre each season, bringing together some of the finest young theatrical talent in the country.

room drama play

by Harold Pinter

Emma and Robert are married. Jerry is their best man and oldest friend. In a story that runs in reverse from a strained meeting between two ex-lovers in 1977, to the passionate outburst that triggers the conception of a seven-year affair in 1968, the three are entwined in a tangle of deceit that conceals their inner passion under the surface of their everyday middle-class lives in 1970s Britain. Each of them is guilty of withholding the truth not only from one another, but also from themselves. Through beautifully sparse dialogue and scenes of breathtaking tension, Pinter reveals the fervency of realism in this electrifying play.

by Anton Chekhov, adapted by Michael Frayn and Tom Stoppard

‘If ever my life can be of any use to you, come and claim it’ Anton Chekhov. Two weeks. Two painfully funny and heartbreaking plays. Two translations by two renowned British playwrights. One master of tragicomedy. The company of Anton present a double bill of Ivanov and Three Sisters translated by Tom Stoppard and Michael Frayn respectively. Taking

you to the heart of Russia at the turn of the 20th Century, Anton celebrates the theatricality and truth of Chekhov’s work by bringing together one of his first and one of his last plays. For the first time, the auditorium will be completely empty. Take your seat on the stage, behind the curtain, for an evening of devastatingly intimate naturalism.

room drama play

by Gina Gionfriddo

18 – 24 February

Becky Shaw

room drama play

by Richard Cameron

‘I view this as the biggest accomplishment of my life: I married a man who is not a psychopath’

Lynette, Ruby and Jody are three very different women who are strangers to each other. Little do they know that one brutal man will bring their lives together. Can’t Stand up for Falling Down follows these three women and their stories of Royce Boland, a man who has a devastating effect on all of their lives. The play is just as much a celebration of storytelling as a celebration of women.

Becky used to be a big shot, Max thinks he still is. Suzanna’s a would-be psychologist who wishes she could cure everything she can’t. Like her chemistry with Max. Or her husband Andrew’s penchant for vulnerable women. Women like Becky. Confused? They are too. Especially when Max and Becky go on a disastrous blind date that pushes them all a little too close to breaking point. This dark American comedy, ‘as engrossing as it is ferociously funny’ (New York Times), provides a contemporary and often unsettling take on the perks and pitfalls of relationships with the opposite sex, and might just leave you wondering whether there is such a thing as a clean slate.

dynamic themes as American ideology, AIDS, liberalism, race and sexual identity. ‘A vast, miraculous play…provocative, witty and deeply upsetting…a searching and radical rethinking of American political drama…’ – Frank Rich, New York Times. ‘An epic theatrical fever dream’ – Variety Performances (ADC Theatre) Tue 26 February – Sat 2 March at 7.45pm Tickets Tue & Wed £8/£6, Thu – Sat £10/£8

’Putting it bluntly, his old man doesn’t compare with his old man’s old man.’ ‘But I know that. Everyone knows that.’ Kafka’s death-wish was for his works to be burned. His only friend, Max Brod, published them instead. Almost a century later, both suddenly appear in 1980s Leeds suburbia, the home of Sidney and Linda. Through a downtrodden wife, the gratuitous humiliation of a tortoise, and the importance of phallic dimensions, Kafka’s Dick roars from inter-war Prague to the cocktail party of posterity inside the Gates of Heaven. Brought into hilarious highdefinition in the confined space of the Corpus Playroom, Bennett’s lightning-paced, ‘irresistible farce’ forces the audience to re-examine their notions of fame, reputation and respect.

Dressing Down

c theatre comedy ad

by Will Attenborough, Jake Gamble, Alex MacKeith and Harry Michell Cambridge’s brightest Footlights are decked out, dolled up and dressing down. With unforgettable characters and the finest wardrobe this side of Narnia, they present a hilarious, gregarious new sketch show. It’s bursting at the seams with imagination and wit, and guaranteed to leave you in stitches. The Footlights Spring Revue is one of the biggest shows in Cambridge, and has sold out for the last six years. Made to measure by writers and performers from Act Casual, i am, i am, the ADC/Footlights Pantomime 2012: The Snow Queen, the Footlights Spring Revue 2012: Donors and countless Smokers, Dressing Down promises to be another smash-hit from the world-famous comedy club. Performances (ADC Theatre) Tue 5 – Sat 9 March at 7.45pm Thu & Sat matinees at 2.30pm Tickets Tue, Wed & both matinees £8/£6 Thu – Sat £10/£8

Cambridge Footlights It’s hard to think of a group that have had more influence on British comedy than the Cambridge Footlights. Whether it’s Monty Python, Fry and Laurie, or Mitchell and Webb, the Footlights really are ‘the most renowned sketch group of them all’ (The Times). The Footlights produce the annual pantomime (with the ADC), as well as previews for their tourshow. However, the fortnightly Smokers, an original mix of sketches and standup, are the real breeding ground for new talents. No other student comedy society rigorously encourages such frequent new writing, or provides as many opportunities to try out material.

The House of Bernarda Alba

Cambridge Footlights

room drama play

by Frederico Garcia Lorca, translation by Michael Dewell and Carmen Zapata Lorca’s The House of Bernarda Alba, in a translation that hums with rhythm and poetry, is an all-female tragedy of passion, oppression and reputation. After her husband’s funeral, proud matriarch Bernarda Alba imposes an eight-year mourning period upon her household. Her five daughters are locked inside the house, with only their chores and frustrations to occupy them. Then a man enters their lives... As jealousy and suppressed sexuality surface, the women tear each other apart, and the effects of Bernarda’s cruelty endangers more than the girls’ liberty.

c theatre musical ad

Music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice, book by Linda Woolverton, Robert Falls, and David Henry Hwang When Egyptian captain Radames captures the beautiful Nubian princess Aida, little does he know that he will be changing both of their destinies. Against the backdrop of warfare and strife, the two are forced to choose between love for their nation and love for each other. Based on Verdi’s iconic opera, this Tony Awardwinning musical ran for more than four years on Broadway, delighting audiences with its pop-rock score and dazzling staging. Created by pop legend Sir Elton John and with lyrics by the legendary Tim Rice (Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Lion King), the show is a product of one of the most exciting writing partnerships in the history of musical theatre.

With a captivating story, electrifying score and beautiful design, this rarely performed musical is perfect for the whole family. Performances (ADC Theatre) Wed 13 – Sat 23 March at 7.45pm Sat matinees at 2.30pm no performance Sun 17 March Tickets Mon – Wed & Sat matinees £10/£8 Thu – Sat £12/£10

The Killing of Sister George

theatre drama adc

by Frank Marcus

Blue/Orange

room drama play

by Joe Penhall

A mental patient is on the brink of being released, when he reveals he is the son of Idi Amin. As his doctors work to reveal the truth, who is most mentally stable becomes less and less clear.

Bruce is more cautious, but with a research project on race-related mental illness, whose best interests are really at heart?

In Blue/Orange, the creaking Health Service is exposed for being overstretched, underfunded and intensely competitive for its employees. This situation impacts on its patients, leaving people like Christopher lacking unified care. His mental state has led him to hospital – and his heritage may keep him there.

Blue/Orange questions power, hierarchy and prejudice, and shows Joe Penhall’s writing at its most commanding.

His doctor, Robert, is determined to see him released to lead a freer life. Senior Consultant

Tickets £6/£5

Performances (Corpus Playroom) Tue 12 – Sat 16 March at 7.00pm

The Killing of Sister George follows the professional and personal demise of the popular district nurse who selflessly ministers to the villagers in the fictional radio-soap Applehurst. However, in real life and amongst her colleagues, the actress June is the antithesis of the sweet character she plays. Against this back-drop, the play combines comedy and pathos as it follows her domestic relationship with the childlike and manipulative Alice McNaught. With the sudden insecurity of her character’s future, their insecure relationship becomes increasingly more self-centred than supportive.

Performances (ADC Theatre) Tue 26 – Sat 30 March at 7.45pm

25 – 31 March

Combined Actors of Cambridge

Tickets Tue & Wed £9/£7 Thu – Sat £10/£8

Following highly-acclaimed runs of the original productions in the West End and on Broadway, the play also became an iconic 1968 film which featured Beryl Reid in the title role. Now it comes to the ADC Theatre to explore the blurred reality of fictional soaps and the even stranger real lives behind the scenes.

Grayling; Booker-shortlisted novelists Deborah Levy and Alison Moore; science writers extraordinaire Tim Radford and Lewis Wolpert; world-class novelists Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun), Elif Shafak (The Forty Rules of Love) and Nadeem Aslam (Maps for Lost Lovers); festival patron Robert Macfarlane and his Samuel Johnson Prize-shortlisted The Old Ways; and John Mullan celebrating Jane Austen.

Cambridge Wordfest

Children can learn how we make stuff with Christiane Dorian, laugh their socks off with Jeremy Strong, go on a Bear Hunt, make friends with a Wimpy Kid or spend some time with our Roald Dahl storytellers.

Wyrd Sisters is an adaptation of one of the best and most theatrical comic fantasies in the hugely entertaining Discworld series by Sir Terry Pratchett. It is a surreal mash-up of pantomime, Monty Python, fairy tale and Shakespeare, with a lunatic version of Macbeth seen from the skewed perspective of the three alarmingly human and dysfunctional witches, the Wyrd Sisters. It is given a fast-moving steampunk production by one of the most experienced amateur companies in Cambridge and directed by an ex-President of the Footlights.

FOLLIES

c theatre musical ad

by Stephen Sondheim and James Goldman

Following on from their hugely successful production of The Sound of Music last year, the Pied Pipers presents what is widely thought of as being Stephen Sondheim’s most important work.

Elif Shafak

Past and present, dreams and reality collide for one triumphant, haunting and unforgettable night when former members of the Weismann’s Follies reunite on the eve of their theatre’s demolition. Two couples remember their glorious past and face the harsher realities of the present as the shadows of their younger selves remind them of the complicated steps they’ve danced – both on the stage and throughout their lives.

Recently thrilling audiences in a hugely successful revival on Broadway, with sassy, show-stopping dance routines, beautiful costumes and iconic songs (Losing my Mind and Broadway Baby to name but two), Follies is a groundbreaking show that defined musical theatre for a generation.
