This term, the Theatre section of our Vulture magazine is looking for more reviewers to bring additional vibrant and diverse perspectives, and ensure Varsity maintains its impressive standard and volume of reviews, covering the huge amount of student and non-student theatre going on in Cambridge. We want Vulture to capture the wide-ranging styles and genres of performance in Cambridge, and reflect the theatre scene well beyond just the ADC Theatre and the Corpus Playroom - if you want to help us, then apply to review! We're interested in both seasoned writers and newbies, all you need is a passion for theatre and a critical opinion!

Above all, we want to champion diverse perspectives and outlooks. So join us today, and help shape the cultural conversation in Cambridge.

To apply: Explain why you want to write Theatre reviews and detail any relevant experience (none required) (300 words maximum), and provide a brief critique of a recent review (200 words maximum).

Got any questions about the role? Pop an email to Theatre Editors Solal Bauer and Frances Arnold at theatre@varsity.co.uk.

Applications should be sent to theatre@varsity.co.uk and are being accepted on a rolling basis!

Don't hesitate to apply! We’re excited to receive your application.

Support Varsity

Varsity is the independent newspaper for the University of Cambridge, established in its current form in 1947. In order to maintain our editorial independence, our print newspaper and news website receives no funding from the University of Cambridge or its constituent Colleges.

We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead.

In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too!

Therefore we are asking our readers, if they wish, to make a donation from as little as £1, to help with our running costs. Many thanks, we hope you can help!
