The Marlowe Society returns to the Arts Theatre stage to present a brand-new production of William Shakespeare’s great tragedy, Romeo and Juliet.

A tale of star-crossed lovers, family feuds and forbidden passion, Shakespeare’s story is stripped back to reveal a society where love and intimacy are dangerously prohibited...

As one of Cambridge University’s most prestigious drama groups, the Marlowe Society’s recent acclaimed productions include OthelloMuch Ado About Nothing and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The Marlowe Society has launched the careers of some of Britain’s greatest actors including Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi, Emma Thompson and Rachel Weisz, and continues its tradition of showcasing the best theatrical talent at the university.

Director Josh Seymour’s recent productions include That Face (Orange Tree Theatre), Suddenly Last Summer (English Theatre Frankfurt) and The Narcissist (Chichester Festival Theatre).
