What we’re about
Let's make the most of some of the great culture available in Nottingham. This group goes to see plays, comedy gigs, classical music, opera, ballet and anything else that takes our fancy. We aim to cast a wide net to cover both amateur and professional events, locally produced and touring productions.

The Crucible @ Lace Market Theatre
The Lace Market Theatre , Halifax Place, Nottingham NG1 1QN, GB"When a vindictive lie unleashes a campaign of state-sanctioned terror, and when sanctimonious piety becomes obligatory, it falls to a self-confessed sinner, John Proctor, to call out the lies. But will anyone believe him?
Arthur Miller’s award-winning play asks us the most troubling questions. Written during the McCarthy witch-hunts of 1950s America, it dramatises events surrounding the witch trials of the 1690s in Salem, Massachusetts and still stands as a warning from history today.
This visceral, gripping play takes us into a desperate, dangerous world, where everyone is implicated, and nobody is safe."Many Tuesday seats already sold! so don't delay if you want to join us for this November play. Tuesday is the only evening I can attend, sorry. But the theatre is small so even the back seats have a perfectly good view.
Buy your own Tickets here £16. I have seat B4, but sit wherever you like.
Meet at 7.00 for chats/drinks up on the Gallery at the far end of the bar. Look out for Kate's red leather bag to find us. Then take our seats ready for curtain up at 7.30.

September In The Rain @ Woodborough Village Hall

Set against the backdrop of a working-class couple’s annual holiday to Blackpool, this story follows Jack and Liz as they reminisce about their life together—through laughter, arguments, and tender moments. Told through a series of flashbacks spanning decades, the play captures the ups and downs of a long marriage, with affection, wit and nostalgia. With just two actors, it’s a touching portrait of enduring love and the beauty found in everyday memories. September in the Rain is a poignant and warmly humorous play by acclaimed British playwright John Godber."Richard is hosting this Event. Join him to enjoy this 2-hander play performed by a pair of local former-professional actors.
