  ‘We came into the world like brother and brother, 
  And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another.’ 
  How do any of us really know who we are? A man arrives in a strange town only to find that everyone knows his name, but thinks he’s someone else.

And do they really want to?

The Marlowe has performed annually at Cambridge Arts Theatre since its opening in 1936 and continues to produce some of the finest actors of their generations. 
  Thurston Dart, Professor of Music at London University and a Fellow of Jesus College Cambridge, directed the music for this production. 
  The full cast includes: Denis McCarthy; Michael Hordern; George Rylands; George Rylands; Michael Bates; Michael Bates; Peter Orr; Clive Swift; Terrence Hardiman; Dudley Jones; Lally Bowers; Joan Hart; Janette Richer; Janette Richer; Prunella Scales. 
  The Comedy of Errors is a testament to the best of European theatre, with a short runtime that doesn't compromise on the quality of the performance. The performing prowess of the cast is evident in every scene, making it a top pick for any theatre lover. 
  For fans of Richard Parsons (GCSE English Shakespeare Text Guide), and Arthur Miller (Incident at Vichy).

  Fifty Shades of London - 50 of...

  This vast and teeming metropolis that many of us call home sits astride a small river on a small island anchored off the north-west shores of Europe.   Yet its very name ‘London’ is famed, admired and known worldwide.  Its growth from hamlet, town, fortification, city and centre of Empire is one of rich reward.  Within its ever-changing borders that are forever moving outwards are gems of architecture across cultures, times and influences that exist in very few other places.  Its diaspora of peoples and cultures overlap, thrive, compete and influence this leviathan of a world city.

  Valued Friends is a comedy of manners about the property market which won both the Evening Standard and Critics' Circle Awards when it was first performed at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 1989.
  Four people live together in a large old house in London. They include Sherry, a wacky girl trying to make it as a comedienne; Paul, a pop music journalist; Paul's girlfriend Marion; and Howard, who is writing a left wing analysis of the corruption of capitalism under the Thatcher government. They all are perfectly content living where they are; until, that is, a developer offers them a huge sum of money to vacate. Soon, their talk about music and idealism gives way to heated discussions about real estate, capital appreciation and negotiating tactics. They decide that they can force the developer to raise his offer by renovating the house; and three years of this leave them with a huge capital gain, and a deep spiritual loss.
  'I had the great pleasure of working with Stephen Jeffreys on his play, The Libertine. Would that all playwrights had his openness, his talent, his hard-headedness, his experience, his enthusiasm, his complexity, and perhaps best of all his talent and interest in eliciting the best in others' - John Malkovich
  'Stephen's plays always bear the kitemark of unique, handcrafted quality' - Ian Rickson
