More stuff with Pride!


The Thy ShakeUp event has unfortunately been postponed until autumn - but we have plenty of Gaiety to replace it...

Don't miss... Gaiety
A Crude Apache double bill to celebrate the run-up to the second Norwich Pride!

7:30 PM, Friday 23 & Saturday 24 July @ St. Gregory's Centre for the Arts


This is a FREE event (donations of course welcomed/encouraged) however space is limited so it's best to call the Crude Apache Hotline on 0775 870 3766 to pre-book. If you get voicemail, please leave a message. Alternatively, email joannayorke@hotmail.com

Gay Play
by writer/director Chantal Schaul

This camp and flamboyant new comedy in one act takes you from doctor's surgery to erotic garden and on to medieval torture dungeon, meeting some truly grotesque characters along the way.
- Will Derrick ever come to terms with his sexuality?
- Will Toby find his one true love?
This "Everyman's" journey with a difference is sure to delight.


And, after the interval:

For Adults Only: The Weimar Years
by the Crude Apache Broadcasting Corporation

The new live show, destined for the sleazy clubs and stages of 1930s Berlin, features sketches and songs by Beverley Nichols, Lady Kitty Vincent, and of course, darling Noel Coward.
Constance Tidge, Angus McBride, Magda Staarsgard, Octavia de Lacey and the irrepresssible force of nature that is Bunny Allthrop are all back to delight you, musically supported as ever, by the Red Hot Seven! But, there's many a slip twixt cup and lip and final rehearsals in Blightly don't quite go according to plan...
