NOTES

"To be, or not to bother?"was paired with "Ruby of Elsinore" under the catch-all title of "Fakespeare" as the CADS entry in the 2026 Royston Arts Festival. These were the first two plays CADS performed at the newly revamped Royston Venue - indeed, they were the first two plays presented at the Venue. The "Fakespeare" plays were also entered into the 2026 Cambridge Festival of Drama at the ADC Theatre - the first time CADS had entered two plays for the festival - and both Luke Francis and Tim Johnson were among the nominations for Best Individual Performance for "Ruby".
