A Sudden Violent Burst of Rain
By Sami Ibrahim
27th Jan - 1st Feb
The Lace Market Theatre, Nottingham
Elif shears sheep, her employer counts the herd. It’s hard to break out of your given role in life but when you’re an immigrant, unregistered, when the country you’re in considers you illegal, it’s damn near impossible. A Sudden Violent Burst of Rain is a contemporary parable of borders, boundaries and what it takes to transcend them in a time when the walls are getting taller and the channels wider.

The Good Life
adapted by Jeremy Sams
28th Jan - 1st Feb
Robin Hood Theatre, Averham, Newark
Jeremy Sams' comedy leads the well-loved BBC sitcom characters through uproarious adventures; some old, some new and often hilariously familiar. The play celebrates a time when, whatever our differences, we still managed to get on with our neighbours. This is a warm, generous, fun, piece of excellent theatrical comedy that will make you feel good, especially - but not only - if you enjoyed the original.
