I was pleased to have the chat with Robert
and was impressed by his professional approach

Heather – Sunday in the Park with George
I was fortunate enough to join the 2017 company of the National Youth Music Theatre (NYMT) to take part in a production of Sondheim & Lapine’s Sunday in the Park with George, directed by Hannah Chissick, which ran for six performances at The Other Palace in London’s West End and received five-star reviews.
Emer – Time Travel
In the four years I spent at Emmanuel, I was lucky enough to receive three grants to travel during the summer: once to Athens and the Peloponnese, then to Sicily, and finally to central and northern Greece.
Charlotte – Touring Europe with King Lear
The University's European Theatre Group toured The Merchant of Venice in December 2012: "We need to take half the seats out to keep the set in the back. I hope that’s ok!"
Joel – Chamber Opera in the Chapel
In 2011, twenty-one singers and instrumentalists performed in Emmanuel’s Chapel a 45 minute-long chamber opera called Nauset, which David Troupes, the librettist, and I had worked on in the second half of 2010.
Emma – 'Thesping' in Cambridge
Back in those tense days when I was a nervous Upper Sixth student awaiting either an acceptance or a rejection letter to study French and Spanish at Emmanuel, one aspect of Cambridge life in particular caused me to check our letter-box daily: I was desperate to be involved in what could arguably be described as the best university theatre scene in the country.
Joe – Emma Jazz Band
Emmanuel is a great place to get involved in music, and I have particularly enjoyed singing with the Chapel choir and the running of the College’s jazz band. The band has gone from strength to strength thanks to the enthusiastic support of the College and student body: both the big band and combo perform regularly and we’ve particularly enjoyed performing for the JCR, MCR and Master at various events in College.

Emma Fitness Suite at Parkside
Working out at Emmanuel has never been easier with the recent opening of a new College Fitness Suite in the basement of 22 Parkside.
Vinesh Maguire-Rajpaul – In Search of Exoplanets
In 1990, after travelling through the solar system for 13 years, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft turned to look back at the inner solar system and captured a final few images before its cameras lost power.
