  • Book tickets in advance through the listed ticket link to secure your place for this single Cambridge performance.
  • Use the University Arms Hotel address to plan your route to the ballroom, and allow extra time for the journey.
  • Expect a sparse-stage, one-performer production rather than elaborate staging, which helps set expectations for the show.
  • Dress for an indoor performance and bring an outdoor layer for the journey to and from the hotel.
