Last Dance Saloon & optional tango class

We're offering a very special extra for our performance in The Diamond at Selwyn College, Cambridge (Saturday March 8)

Savio and Katriona from Simply Tango will be teaching an hour-long class which will serve as an introduction to the magic of tango if you're an intrigued beginner, or as the chance to polish your moves if you've already embarked on your tango journey.

After the performance there will be the opportunity to put into practise what you've learned when we turn up the music for an informal (and completely non-judgemental) "milonga" (social dance).

The hour-long-class will be in The Diamond at 5pm and will cost just £5. Places are limited to 26. You can secure your place at the same time as buying a ticket for the performance - which is at 7.30pm.

the play

Two people, no longer in the first flush of youth, find each other at a tango retreat in Buenos Aires. A spark is lit and their passion smoulders – this was meant to be. But one has work and family ties in South America, the other in North Devon. They settle into the frustrations of a long-distance relationship, fuelled by regular tango sessions in Argentina that include unexpected flights of the imagination. Then one of them weighs the ecological consequences.

A multi story mix of music, song, tango and stories ancient and modern.

"Like a warm hug on a stormy night."

"Sensitive, funny, moving, poignantly relevant and viscerally relatable."

"I just loved it! It felt like you expressed lots of different threads about what it is to be alive and human at this time of my life, in this age. And you wove those threads into something that for me, expressed a beautiful freedom of the dance of the heart. Thank you both for creating something that could do that... it's very special."
