Happy Endings Tuesday 30 May – Thursday 1 June, 7.30pm CAMBRIDGE JUNCTION, CLIFTON WAY, CAMBRIDGE CB1 7GX Three devised shows, three nights, the culmination of three years of hard work for our Drama and Performing Arts students.

In many ways, these shows are the end - and they are a new beginning. They are a final goodbye and an opening to new starts and new horizons. They are filled with joy and enthusiasm, and a certain kind of sadness and trepidation. They are made of everything we know and everything we have yet to learn and experience. They have been made through friendships and working together, through laughter, talking, improvising, singing, dancing and upstaging each other. They have emerged from failure and success. Join us as we present our three shows – farewells and celebrations.

Tickets: £11.50 (£8.00 concessions, £6.00 students) Available from the Cambridge Junction Box Office: 01223 511511 junction.co.uk/anglia-contemporary-theatre

Uniting some of the finest, fresh musical talent, you can expect an eclectic range of genres from Hard Rock, Country, Folk, Pop, Left Field and anything in between. Our students have been working hard to pull together an exciting evening of music not to be missed!

Tickets: £11.50 (£8.00 concessions, £6.00 students) Available from the Cambridge Junction Box Office: 01223 511511 junction.co.uk/aru-band-showcase

After serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, Tommy Atkins’ observations on the absurdities of every-day life on civvy street are frequently comic, occasionally absurd, sometimes violent but always poignant. His wired energy leads to hyper-emotional responses - from post office queues and a trip to Ikea to his relationships with family and friends - lead to alienation and anger.

Tickets: £12.00 (£10.00 concessions, £6.00 with HM Forces/Veterans ID) Available from the Mumford Theatre Box Office: 01223 352932 anglia.ac.uk/mumfordtheatre

Supposes MUMFORD THEATRE, ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY Wednesday 5 & Thursday 6 July, 7.30pm Written by George Gascoigne and originally performed in 1566, Supposes was one of the first comedies to be written in English. Its themes of disguising (the modern translation of the old word ‘supposes’) had a major influence on Shakespeare in his plays such as Comedy of Errors and The Taming of the Shrew.

This modern revival — the first time the play has been fully staged for over four centuries — sets the play in 1950s Camden. A young musician, Eddy, falls in love with Polly, the daughter of an intimidating nightclub owner.

Eddy and his roadie, Dylan, swap places with each other so that Eddy can get close to Polly, through the guise of a roadie working for her dad’s nightclub. However, when Eddy’s father comes to visit his son, things get a little bit complicated…

Tickets: £8.00 (£6.00 concessions) Available from the Mumford Theatre Box Office: 01223 352932 anglia.ac.uk/mumfordtheatre
