Pompey defeated, Julius Caesar returns to Rome, flushed with triumph.
But Rome has changed, and talk of assassination lurks behind every
column...
Cambridge University European Theatre Group's 50th anniversary
production of one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies brings the
political intrigue of Ancient Rome into a modern setting in which our
barbarism and ambition are revealed in the relationships with those
closest to us. Morality is forgotten in the lust for power, love is
cast viciously aside, and the true nature of honour is finally realised.
ETG was founded in 1957 by a group of students including Sir Derek
Jacobi and Sir Ian McKellen, who toured Europe in a fruit van. Highly
acclaimed recent productions include Macbeth (2006), The Taming of the
Shrew (2005), and Romeo and Juliet (2004). Come and see this year's
spectacular production as it returns from its triumphant tour of snowy
Europe for six final performances. Book now to avoid disappointment;
this will be unmissable.

::'PEMBROKE STREET' NEEDS ARTICLES!::
If you're the least bit interested in submitting something fun, or
funny, or opinionated, or informative, or whatever, to your college
magazine, do let me know - Will Pinkney wep22. It's always great fun to
do, and it gives a vain thrill to see your pearls of wisdom in print.
Most contributors originally like the idea of writing an article but
are unsure what to write about. Never fear, my team of editors and I are
full of suggestions. Just email me and I'll send you reams of
possibilities, and put you in touch with an editor who'll give you many
more. Arts! Sports! College affairs! Give us your opinions.
Please please please consider writing if you are a GRAD, and are
therefore criminally under-represented in this WHOLE-COLLEGE
publication!
Do something about it and email me if you're interested in forwarding
any kind of contribution.
If your talents lie in photography, again, let me know if you're
interested in contributing.
Will Pinkney, wep22
