The forthcoming spring season at the Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall Nottingham offers something to appeal to everyone, from thought-provoking drama to top West End musicals, to some of the UK’s funniest comedians and top names from the worlds of classical, folk, rock and pop music.

Drama fans will delight in the choice on offer at the Theatre Royal this season, with Arthur Miller’s classic masterpiece A View from the Bridge starring Michael Brandon, a heart-rending new stage adaptation of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and the West End hit The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Peter James’ best-selling novel Dead Simple also comes to the stage, starring Tina Hobley, Jamie Lomas, Rik Makarem, Michael McKell and Gray O’Brien.

On a lighter note, Jeeves & Wooster in Perfect Nonsense make a laugh-out-loud trip to Nottingham following a very successful West End run, whilst The Importance of Being Earnest promises to be one of the highlights of the season, starring David Suchet as the formidable Lady Bracknell.

For music fans, big names this season at the Royal Concert Hall include Lulu, Nick Cave, Michael Ball, Blue, Texas, Simple Minds, UB40 and John Barrowman. Other musical highlights of the spring season include Richard & Adam, the Solid Silver 60s Show featuring Billy J Kramer, The Searchers, Mike Pender and more, The Hollies, Bellowhead, the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra and Halfway to Paradise – The Billy Fury Story.

Stand-up comedy will come in the form of Dara O Briain, Stewart Lee, Dylan Moran and Jimmy Carr, all visiting the Royal Concert Hall this spring.
