In Situ Theatre Company

in situ: creates performances outside the boundaries of conventional theatre. We do this by performing in non-theatre spaces - houses, churches, museums, woods - and also by employing the tools of theatre-making, especially voice, text and story, in new and surprising ways.
in situ: is professionally-run, but works with a large number of non-professional collaborators from all walks of life, who join the group as a result of attending our workshops and residencies.

in situ: and The Leper Chapel
in situ:'s relationship with The Leper Chapel began in 2004 with a performance of Mirabilis, a piece about the life and death of Christina Mirabilis, a 12th Century saint. Since then it has become one of our favourite performance sites. In 2005 we performed Chaucer's Canterbury Tales , which
we repeated due to popular demand in 2006, and this Summer sees our most ambitious project to date, a performance of Sophocles' famous tragedy Oedipus Rex..


Cambridge Storytellers host occasional storytelling events at the Leper Chapel
