We are delighted to announce that a performance of The Cleverest Thief has just been conformed on October 24th 2015  at Jesus Lane Quaker Meeting House, 12 Jesus Lane, Cambridge CB5 8BA  at 7.30pm.

This performance will be raising money for the local branch of Alzheimer’s Society, supported by the Radley Trust.

Philip and Myrtle Radley both of who were members of Jesus Lane Meeting set up the Radley Trust some 50 years ago, and Myrtle herself fell victim to this ‘clever thief’.  Radley Trust are currently providing funds to the local branch of the Alzheimer’s Society to support an extra day a week opening that supports carers and sufferers of this condition.
