16th February, 7:30pm - The Money at Cambridge Guildhall, Market Square

Finally, the chance to participate in your very own Derren Brown style mind experiment. The Money is part theatrical performance and part live game. By donating money, you become a benefactor, and with the rest of the benefactors choose what to spend your pot of real cash on. Fail to decide after 90 minutes and you lose your money, which is passed on to the next round. Alternatively, you can exist as a silent witness and watch as the rest of the room stress and haggle. The result makes theatre out of a conversation; a charged and at times uncomfortable experience that will cause you to question your values, judgment and the depth of your purse, all in a Tuesday evening.

Cambridge Guildhall, £11/£7
