Jacob Gaskell & Manon Harvey, CU European Theatre Group

About this episode

This episode features interviews with the tour manager and director of the Cambridge University European Theatre Group discussing their experiences organizing a theatre tour.

In this set of interviews from the archives, Aaron speaks to the tour manager and the director of the 2023-24 Cambridge University European Theatre Group. Since the 1950s, the group has taken a different Shakespeare play across Western Europe each winter. Alumni of it include prestigious actors like Derek Jacobi. In two interviews, before and after the tour, we get an idea about the logistics, challenges and joys that come from trying to organise a theatre tour while juggling a Cambridge degree.
