Autumn Season 2010

Welcome to an enthralling new Autumn Season at the ADC Theatre, featuring an electric mix of new and contemporary writing alongside some modern and less-modern classics! Our season is now online for browsing, with online booking opening on the 9th August.

Cambridge American Stage Tour are celebrating their 10th year of touring the USA with a vibrant production of Shakespeare's The Tempest. For the first time the Cambridge Footlights have extended their tour to include America after their UK tour and month at the Edinburgh Festival, so we are sure to see the very best sketches in Good For You. Our American theme keeps running through the first few weeks of the season, with Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Jonathan Larson's rock musical RENT, which is sure to have you singing along to 'Seasons of Love' and 'La Vie Bohème'.

From musicals to plays about music: Soundtrack to Your Life is a new devised piece inspired by the songs which change our lives. Passing By, by Martin Sherman (the writer behind Mrs Henderson Presents) is about a life changing love affair.

There's plenty more exciting contemporary drama on offer, with Dennis Kelly's (the writer behind last year's hit play Orphans) play D.N.A which premiered at the National Theatre, and tackles the dangerous side of adolescent group mentality.

Almost a decade since it was first staged at the Royal Court, Sarah Kane's extraordinary play 4.48 Psychosis is to be performed here at the ADC.

Noel Coward fans will be thrilled to see that we have Relative Values on, and those interested in new writing have The Fire Within to sate their adventurous appetites.

Of course the Autumn season wouldn't be the same without the ADC/Footlights pantomime, and this year's Pied Piper is sure to be another favourite.
