I love all the The Fast and the Furious movies, Fast and Furious Live at the O2 however, not so much.

ETG welcome you to the Carnival with their modern retelling of Shakespeare’s Comedy, where nobody dies and some marriages take place. In its 60th year The Cambridge University European Theatre Group, an entirely student-run theatrical company, end their two week tour at The ADC Theatre granting us a feast of masquerade, colour and spectacle.
