The European Theatre Group is a student-run theatrical company.  Every year we organise a tour of European cities, from Paris to Prague, where we perform a Shakespeare play in English to a range of audiences.

A Typical tour will perform at around twelve different venues, ranging from professional theatres, to schools and universities, and even a converted bread oven.  Many of these venues are attached to universities or schools providing an excellent educational opportunity for ETG to support the Shakespeare component within the respective English curricula.

We travel complete with set, lights, costumes and technical crew, enabling us to be a self-sufficient company and to perform in such a variety of spaces.  The Tour takes place just before Christmas, and lasts around eighteen days.  Each year the company consists of approximately 25 people, half of which are actors and the remainder the technical and production team

Whether participating on the production, design or acting front, the tour is hard work, tiring and challenging.  It is however, above all else, great fun and presents an experience that is not available elsewhere in Cambridge drama, or indeed outside Cambridge.
