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.
Support the Arts! Venues and events need our patronage to keep going.

NT Live - Mrs Warren's Profession @ Bonington Theatre, Arnold
Bonington Theatre, Arnold Leisure Centre, High Street, Arnold, NG5 7EE, Nottingham, GB"Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost? Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic explores the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress.
Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in this new production, filmed live from the West End."Runtime 117 minutes (no interval)
Join me to enjoy some top London theatre beamed straight to our local screen by National Theatre Live. The trademark wit and social insight of George Bernard Shaw is all there in this marvellous play; I saw a 2002 production in London with Brenda Blethyn in the lead.

Fire descending from the sky, false gods, earthquakes, drought, storms, fiery horses and fiery chariots, prophets ascending heavenward in the whirlwinds, it's all here! There can be no more dramatic oratorio than Mendelssohn's Elijah, surely one of the greatest and most exciting choral works ever written.

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.
There is also an interval.5 attendees
