CATHEDRAL TOURS
Fancy a spring day out? Enjoy a tour of incredible Ely Cathedral – a feat of medieval craftsmanship and engineering, and one of our area’s most famous landmarks. On the Octagon Tower Tour, explore the beautiful wooden lantern suspended over the centre of the building’s interior, or follow in the footsteps of medieval monks and enjoy fabulous Fenland views on the West Tower Tour. The St Etheldreda Tour, meanwhile, explores the life and legacy of the East Anglian saint, while the Monastic Tour and Tea features medieval monastery buildings, monk’s tales as well as a delicious afternoon tea. elycathedral.org

THE TALENT Recorded voices provide a soundtrack to daily life, but have you ever thought about the people to whom those voices belong? From 29-30 March at the Junction, The Talent offers a surreal, thought-provoking depiction of the life and purpose of a voice- over artist in a world increasingly filled with audio debris. A show about human presence in the 21st century, it looks at the shifting status of the voice and asks what its value may be in a non-human future.
DEAD CATS Cover-ups, political jargon and deliberate deceit provide the premise for the latest work from Proto-type Theatre at the Junction on 15 March.

It’s the third contemporary theatre piece in Proto-type’s acclaimed Truth to Power Project, offering a socially engaged exploration of power, democracy, truth, protest, privacy, conspiracy and control.
