After a gap of some two years, I went to see Macbeth last night…read more I have been going to this theatre for some 23 years now, and, after a gap of some two years, walked into a time warp! In a good way! It retains it's young, vibrant and exciting atmosphere, making you want to visit just for a drink. The 'pub', now called Cast, has changed dramatically in its' decor since the late sixites but still buzzes with conversation. Shame about the 'music' - FAR too loud. Oh dear; am I getting old?! As for 'That Play'; well it was OK. The weird sisters were portrayed in a very interesting way but I found the acting in general to be rather over the top. But then I'm not an expert! And I didn't want to leave! xx

Run entirely by devoted volunteers, the theatre is committed to performing challenging and interesting plays, recently putting on the first ever showing in Nottingham of the Restoration Comedy The Rover. The theatre has a genuine and warm atmosphere of enthusiasm, with every single job, from lead actor to prompt, to costume makers, ice-cream sellers and set builders done entirely for the love of it. There's also a great little bar upstairs and the theatre is open on Saturday lunchtimes for amazingly cheap delicious home-made pub grub.

As a musician myself, I have performed at the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham on many occasions…read more The back stage staff are always pleasant, polite and helpful, and I always have a good time there. The acoustics of the hall are incredible. The best way to hear a performance in that place in my opinion is to have no amplification whatsoever. Acoustic concerts are just beautiful there - unfortunately, this can result in the opposite when too much mikeing up is used. I went to see a Rhythm and blues band and the sound was overpowering and swam around the room without clarity. So, pick your show carefully - the programme is always varied and interesting. There's plenty of stuff to see, and at reasonable prices. The seats are comfy, bars convenient and toilets accessible.

THE CLOAKROOM MANAGER MADE ME CRY…read more I went to a Rebel Rebel night (22/10 - 23/10) and had to deal with the rudest cloakroom employee (the manager) I've ever seen in my life. I had a ticket to get my jacket. The cloakroom manager said it wasn't enough, she needed my initials. I told her that no one asked for it when I gave my jacket. She insisted they did because they were trained for it. I insisted they didn't (two or three times more) and she always said, "but they did". The truth is, no one did when I went to the club (my friends were beside me and they saw that, plus, I was fully sober). I also told her I could show a 2015 picture wearing that jacket she said she didn't care. As if that wasn't enough I was called "rude" by her even though I was not, not even for a second. I was just stressed and upset by the situation and the way she was handling it. Not being believed and having to deal with someone who treated me like piece of s*it was awful. I cried the whole way back home and I was lucky enough my friend managed to deal with the situation while I was about to cry and couldn't handle myself. RUINED MY EVENING. I'm extremely disappointed. This happened in the rebel rebel night (a bit before 3am). Don't recommend going there at all, unless you don't mind crying on your way back home.
