CULTURE CLUB
The must-see events around Cambridge this month Arts & Culture
16 – 21 Apr
The Junction will be introducing some extra chill to your springtime this April by presenting its new micro-season On Horror . Debunking the idea that Halloween should get all the horror fun, this three-night programme comprising five different shows will dive into the genre in its myriad forms. The series kicks off with Terrifying Women IV: At Large , a selection of short plays from women writing horror theatre which spans three tales simply brimming with chills and suspense. Next, embark on a psychological journey of choreography with Goner , as a piece of theatre that endeavours to establish a Black tradition within the genre. Continuing the dance theme, It Begins in Darkness seeks to confront the haunting emotions that still linger in the wake of slavery and colonialism, before things take a different turn with Monster Show – where the black-and-white horror classic Frankenstein is redubbed in a live performance from a lone creature who reframes the story in a new narrative. Last but not least, don’t miss John Robertson’s The Dark Room , the world’s only live-action, text-based adventure game.
