Shadows over the Cam

In 1920s Cambridge, something vast and otherworldly stirs. Buried tomes whisper of an ancient language linked to a strange artifact, and University scholars vanish as curiosity slides into madness.

Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft and H. G. Wells, this improvised cosmic-horror tale blends sharp humour with creeping dread, as town and gown confront a horror unbounded by space and time.

This production is suitable for all ages.
