Following two displaced migrant workers in search of a better life and ending in heart- breaking tragedy, John Steinbeck’s portrait of a rotting American dream set in the great depression era has lost none of its power today. Re-live the enduring tale of friendship this month at the Arts Theatre in a brand-new production from Iqbal Khan, director of the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony. ENGLISH TOURING OPERA 13-15 APRIL, CAMBRIDGE ARTS THEATRE Enjoy a trio of performances by the world- leading English Touring Opera, bringing love, war, comedy and tragedy to the city between 13-15 April. Night one will be Handel’s celebrated Giulio Cesare , with an offering of Rossini’s last Italian opera Il viaggio a Reims the following day, and finishing with Lucrezia Borgia , Gaetano Donizetti’s pathos-laden tale of a complex woman in danger.

In fair Cambridge, where we lay our scene, a young man and woman chase an idealistic future while a violent world implodes around them.

FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS: THE MUSICAL 25-29 APRIL, CAMBRIDGE ARTS THEATRE Based on the true story of the eponymous Cornish singing sensations – and their 2019 movie – this heart-warming show follows the group’s journey from Port Isaac to the Pyramid Stage. With shanties galore and laughs aplenty, you’ll fall for this feel-good story – hook, line and sinker.
