Horseshoe Theatre Company is now in its third year and we are proud to have eight successful productions behind us: Yerma, An Inspector Calls, Teechers, A Doll's House, The Caretaker, A Gate Escape and Waiting for Godot, along with our young writing project, Folk: Tales from a Fenland Village.

As we evolve our mission becomes ever clearer: to produce great modern classics from the curriculum for the benefit of public exam students and also for the wider community in and around Cambridge.

Our productions can only ever be as good as our actors so we are happy to be building up a pool of fine professional talents. In our recent production of Waiting for Godot, Lucky was played by Paul Gillingwater (previously Juan in Yerma) Vladimir by James Clarkson (previously Dr Rank in A Doll's House) and Estragon by Jared Morgan (previously Inspector Goole in An Inspector Calls).

Our sets will always be pared down and we make no apology for this. In the near future we plan to become a touring company, so our sets will always have to fit in the back of a van. If anything, we regard it as an asset for students of theatre to see just how much scope there is to create something out of nothing.

Your feedback and suggestions are, as ever, warmly welcomed.
