Titus Andronicus @ Lace Market Theatre
Lace Market Theatre, Halifax Place, Nottingham, GB"An empire in turmoil; a horrific crime unpunished; a bloody, merciless revenge.
Returning to Rome after ten years of battle, having lost twenty-one of his sons to achieve victory over the Goths, Roman general Titus Andronicus is ill-equipped to deal with the treacherous political atmosphere of an empire teetering on the edge of decline. His decision to sacrifice his defeated enemy's eldest son is the catalyst to a brutal vendetta between Titus and Tamora, the Queen of the Goths, which reaches an extraordinary climax of bloodshed and violence.
Shakespeare's bloodiest drama is a devastating portrayal of the destructive capability, but also ultimate futility, of vengeance. Set against a backdrop of the Roman Empire succumbing to decadence and excess, Titus Andronicus is a savage indictment of misogyny and racism, which will move and shock in equal measure."Join us to see this production of the classic Elizabethan tragedy, from our favourite local theatre company.

Funny Money @ Lace Market Theatre
Lace Market Theatre, Halifax Place, Nottingham, GB"Henry Perkins has had a very interesting day.
He went to work, came home, and somewhere in between managed to acquire a briefcase stuffed with somebody else's money. Perfectly reasonable things happen after that. Dinner is
served, guests arrive, and absolutely nothing spirals catastrophically out of control.
Funny Money is Ray Cooney at his most devious: a masterclass in comic timing, mistaken identity, and the heroic human instinct to dig yourself deeper when you should really just stop digging.
It's the kind of play where every solution creates three new problems, every lie needs six more to prop it up, and the front door becomes the most terrifying object in the room.
Chaotic. Clever. Very, very funny."Buy Your Own Ticket Here . £16 . Sit where you like. I have seat B5
