RENT
Tue 9 November 2010 - Sat 13 November 2010
ADC Theatre
CUMTS are pleased to present RENT, the rock opera by Jonathan Larson, as their 2010 Michaelmas Musical!
Based around the story of eight friends living, loving and protesting together against poverty and AIDS in New York in the 1990s, this musical captures the heart and spirit of a generation of struggling artists, addicts, and impoverished young people.
As Mark begins a new film on Christmas Eve in New York, the night of Maureen's protest against the tyranny of their local landlord, their friends and lovers gather together - Collins returns to the city, meeting an unexpected Angel on the streets, whilst Roger works on his final song after recovering from a drug addiction and the suicide of his girlfriend. Mimi, an exotic dancer, falls in love, whilst Joanne struggles to cope with the ups and downs of her free-spirited girlfriend. Decisions are made that will change the group's lives together. But as the year goes on, and bereavement threatens to tear apart the very heart of bohemia, can this disparate group of friends, each looking to leave their mark on the world, stay together?
Join us this Michaelmas for an emotional yet upbeat tour through the New York of the 1990s. With a beautiful and breathtaking score and book by Jonathan Larson, and a fantastic amount of talent on stage, this show promises to be the one to watch this term!
Cost: £8 - £12
