Barrymore came into the public eye in 1982 with her role in Steven Spielberg's wildly successful E.T. The Extraterrestrial. She received a Youth in Film Award and a British Academy of Film and Television Artists Award nomination for Most Outstanding Newcomer for her performance.

Barrymore also earned critical acclaim for her roles in Gun Crazy and Irreconcilable Differences. She founded her own production company--Flower Films--which has produced many notable films including the box office smash Never Been Kissed. Most recently, she tried her hand as a producer in the box-office hit Charlie's Angels.

Set in the 1950's, the Transylvanian spoof Fangs is an original production with a script and score written by undergraduates. In keeping with tradition, the show's all-male cast will perform in drag.

The Pudding selects professionals to do the costumes and technical work for the play, which is usually performed 40 times in Cambridge before going on spring tour.
