Nottingham Arts Theatre Summer School present...


Fantastic Mr Fox (Wood)


Roald Dahl’s much-loved story follows the vain attempts of three farmers, Boggis, Bunce and Bean (one fat, one short, one lean), to get rid of the fox who regularly steals food from their farms. Despite their efforts to kill the fox by any means possible, the hapless farmers are outwitted at every turn. Ultimately, Fantastic Mr. Fox devises a plan to ensure full stomachs for his family and friends, all of whom celebrate with a sumptuous feast.


Performed by the children attending Nottingham Arts Theatre's 'Play In A Week' Summer School.


FANTASTIC MR FOX

by Roald Dahl, adapted for the stage by David Wood

Joe Avati: When I Was Your Age

Joe Avati: When I Was Your Age

Top of The World Entertainment Presents...


In Joe Avati's new show he asks you to leave your political correctness at the door as he delivers his hilarious insights on how times have changed, for better or worse, since he grew up as a teenager in the 80’s.


Internationally renowned for his inimitable style, Avati, who is Australian born with an Italian heritage, is a master of treading the very fine line saying what everyone seems to think but no one dares to say whilst not resorting to the use of profanities or vulgar shock tactic routines in doing so.


In his latest offering WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE… he tackles the 'then versus now' generational differences of today's kids, the complexities of modern day parenting compared to the strict upbringing of yesteryear and threaded throughout all of this, he tackles the minefield of cancel culture, the woke brigade and why people are over political correctness. His observations are not only deadly accurate but extremely relatable to all ages.


This is a show for all the family. Bring your parents to highlight how much they have changed since they were your age, bring your friends to laugh and reminisce about growing up as teenagers when you were that age and most importantly bring your kids so that they know what you went through “when I was your age…”


G rated - suitable for children 10 and over.

Rita, Sue & Bob Too

Rita, Sue & Bob Too

Diva Productions Presents...


Rita, Sue and Bob Too is a twisted, dark and hilarious comedy drama that tells the story of Rita and Sue, two working class girls from a rundown Bradford council estate who are about to finish their final year at school. In their spare time, they earn money babysitting for married couple Bob and Michelle. Behind Michelle’s back, Bob embarks on an affair with both Rita and Sue, who are both hungry for adult adventure. It is only a matter of time before Michelle and Sue's parents finds out and when they do sparks most definitely fly!


Andrea Dunbar’s semi-autobiographical work is a funny, touching and vibrant play, full of wicked humour and is a stark snapshot of 1980s northern working-class life, under an increasingly repressive Tory government. In 1986, the play was adapted into a film of the same name, and attracted a cult following due to its intimate portrayal of ordinary people’s lives.


Diva Productions are proud to bring back their successful 2022 Yorkshire Tour which was described to have “the heart the size of Yorkshire”, to National audiences this year.

A Joke

secretplanet presents...


A Joke
by Dan Freeman


Three characters with no memory are born into a void.  

Are they the constituents of a joke, or a story, or is the joke ultimately on them?


Enjoying a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe to rave reviews, this comedy explores the meaning of existence, the tensions between optimism, realism and pessimism and the anatomy and history of humour, all through an evening of electrifying theatre.


BRITISHTHEATREGUIDE

“Freeman has mastered the joke-drama ratio. We're caught from the outset. We are privy to the best of theatre... This is the Gold Standard. We are honoured and privileged... Chances are, it will be moving into the West End and, if we’re lucky, Broadway... This is a “don’t miss this” if there ever was one.”


THE MAIL ON SUNDAY

"Perfect... a hoot."


ACROSSTHEARTS ****

“excellent... consistently funny... a treat from beginning to end.”


SGFRINGE *****

"impeccable" ​


EDINBURGH REPORTER *****

"Who knew that three men, a massage table and a pair of spoons could cause such hilarity? Razor-sharp, rapid-fire one-liners, exquisite wordplay… a delight… I think this might be my favourite show this year at The Fringe. If it's not then it has certainly set the bar VERY high."


EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS *****

"a comic masterclass... laugh out loud funny ... Freeman's layered and thoughtful script... A Joke will keep you laughing and set you thinking."  


BROADWAY WORLD *****

"a delight... excellent... "​


BROADWAY BABY ****

“irresistible... mastery ... razor-sharp dialogue and rapid-fire one-liners.”


THE SKINNY ****

“Dan Freeman's text... delivering consistent eruptions from the audience... faultless... twisting and turning and revealing that the real enjoyment isn’t from the eventual gag, but from the journey.


FESTMAG

"delightfully absurdist… greatly enjoyable"

 

JANICE FORSYTH, BBC RADIO SCOTLAND

"a terrific play"


THE STAGE

  "sharp, satirical and effortlessly amusing"


FRINGEREVIEW

“... a privilege to witness... masterful... The audience were transported... There are laughs and big laughs and moments of stillness and sadness... hilarity... a truly astounding show... Recommended.”


ALL EDINBURGH THEATRE.COM *****

"A beautifully presented piece of theatre... excellent... Freeman's direction is an object lesson in how to present a comedy... Whether you want a thought-provoking hour or some laughs, this is for you."  ​

The Fureys 2025

The Fureys 2025

Legends of Irish music and song, The Fureys are renowned for their hit songs I Will Love You, When You Were Sweet Sixteen, The Green Fields of France, The Old Man, Red Rose Café, From Clare To Here, Her Father Didn’t Like Me Anyway, Leaving Nancy, Steal Away etc.


The oldest of the brothers, Eddie Furey left home in 1966 and travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival where with his brother Finbar, he met and shared accommodation with then unknown folk singers Billy Connolly, Gerry Rafferty, Tam Harvey and Alex Campbell.


In 1972, Gerry Rafferty wrote Her Father Didn’t Like Me Anyway for Eddie. BBC Radio 1 presenter, the late John Peel made it his single of the year. They are particularly proud of their UK chart success with songs such as I Will Love You and When You Were Sweet Sixteen, which in turn helped bring Irish folk and traditional music to a completely new audience. The band made their Top of the Pops debut in 1981.


Eddie Furey recalls how “many musicians have told us we influenced them after hearing a record from their parents or grandparents’ collection”. Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics has credited Eddie with teaching him his first chords on the guitar while still a teenager. Eddie would return the compliment by joining Dave on stage in Paris for a jam during the latter’s wedding to Bananarama’s Siobhan Fahey.


The Fureys emotive songs stir many emotions, tears and laughter, sadness and joy.
