One Shell of a Guy

Content warning [May contain spoilers]

Join Footlight Isaac Tompkinson as he brings you along for his pitch for the increased usage of fossil fuels. This may seem like an odd position to take but Isaac is uncompromising in his views and he’s courting a grad job at one of the top fossil fuel companies so it can’t hurt to butter them up a bit. We’ll see the foundations of the oil refining process, a strong anti-whaling message and the obvious advantages of an oil-based lifestyle.

This production is suitable for ages 12 and over. However, given the timing of the performance, parental discretion is advised.

The ADC Theatre is Britain's oldest University playhouse, today administered and maintained by the University of Cambridge. Plays have been presented on the site since 1855, when the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club (CUADC) was founded, and the society met and performed in the back room of the Hoop Inn, which stood almost exactly where the ADC Theatre stands today. Today, the ADC Theatre is the centre of University drama in Cambridge, run almost entirely by students with no Faculty involvement.
