This week, we have welcomed Copenhagen to our stage! Michael Frayn’s brilliant historical retelling centres on the stories of acclaimed physicists, Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr and their clandestine meeting in Copenhagen in 1941. Both men were renowned for their superb minds, and for the part they played on either side of the Second World War. On top of this, we also discovered that Heisenberg has links to Cambridgeshire, as he was kept in a safe house in Godmanchester in 1945.

Everyone at the Arts Theatre is extremely excited to welcome the distinguished actor Ralph Fiennes to Cambridge later this month. Ralph will be directing and starring in a world premiere production of T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets, and we can't wait to see an icon of British performance live on stage.

To celebrate the return of Susan Hill's The Woman in Black, we've gathered together some ghoulishly ghostly tales for your entertainment. Read on (if you dare!)...

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Sadly, I am writing to inform you that following the recent Government announcement that Cambridgeshire is to move into Tier 4, we are unable to complete our run of Dame Trott’s Panto Palaver.

The critics have spoken and our spectacular panto themed adventure Dame Trott's Panto Palaver is proving to be a huge hit! Here's a round up of of our favourites so far, and remember to click on each publication to read the full review.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I hope you and your loved ones are faring well and managing to make the best of our surreal COVID world.

Cambridge Arts Theatre has been awarded £985,000 as part of the Government’s £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund (CRF), to help face the ongoing challenges of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Since closing its doors in March, it is estimated the Arts Theatre has lost over 97% of its income, with 13 touring productions cancelled and thousands of audience members disappointed due to the current crisis.

Due to the current Coronavirus pandemic, Mischief Theatre’s Groan Ups (19 – 24 October 2020) has been rescheduled for Spring 2021. 

Performances will now take place from Monday 5 – Saturday 10 April 2021. 

All tickets remain valid for the equivalent performances and have been transferred automatically. All affected customers have been contacted by email.
