The Importance of Being Earnest is on our stage until 24 September... Alongside the production you can see Autograph ABP's pop-up exhibition, The Missing Chapter: Black Chronicles in our foyer, and you won't want to miss it. 

We are so excited to welcome London Classic Theatre back to our stage this week for the hilarious farce Boeing Boeing! We caught up with the director Michael Cabot to find out a little more about the show, and its timeless comedic script: 

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that actor Rolan Bell, who played the dastardly evil Abanazar in our 2021 panto Aladdin, has won the award for 'Best Villain' at The UK Pantomime Association's Pantomime Awards.

Last week the country's pantomime stars, producers, directors (and everyone in between!) gathered at London's Trafalgar Theatre for the annual awards, where 22 awards were handed out - and Rolan came home with the esteemed title of the UK's best baddie!

For the first time since 2019, English Touring Opera are returning to Cambridge with another brilliant choice of two popular operas, in Puccini’s beautiful love story, La bohème and Rimsky-Korsakov’s fantastical fairytale, The Golden Cockerel. But what is opera, and which show should you come to see?

In just a few weeks, the beautiful and heart-breaking children's story, Private Peaceful, takes to our stage in a brand new adaptation. Read on as beloved children's author Michael Morpurgo talks about the true events that inspired the story - and how War Horse was nearly a complete disaster...

We're thrilled to announce that audiences for 2021's magical family pantomime Aladdin raised over £14,000 for selected charities through bucket collections! 

We are so excited to welcome the brand-new stage adaptation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm in February! Re-imagined by an award-winning creative team, Animal Farm is a dynamic, daring, and contemporary take on a timeless story, featuring over 30 life-size puppets!

Last week we enjoyed our annual Press Night... a glittering night of magic, festivity - and pantomime! The critics of Cambridge gathered to decide what they think of this year's show. (Spoiler alert: they loved it!). 

We thought we'd assemble our favourites in a handy blog post, just in case you need further encouragement to join us for our spectacular family show. Be sure to click on the publication names to read or listen to the full reviews.
