We’re event planners who specialise in non-traditional events and events with an edge. So, we thought we should include a few unusual options in this week’s list of things to do in Nottingham.
This week there’s: Comedy, Theatre, Film, an Art Exhibition Launch, a Book Launch, and a couple of events that are harder to describe…

Mon, 27th March – 8pm – Smash Night – The Angel
Looking for something different to the usual stand up comedy night?
MissImp aka Nottingham’s improvised comedy company presents SMASH NIGHT: a brand new night of improvised comedy! Performers will ask the audience for suggestions and turn them into comedic scenes and stories on the spot. No-one knows what will happen!

Theatre
Weds, 29th March – Sat, 1st April 7:30pm – The Crucible – Nottingham Arts Theatre
The People’s Theatre Company present Arthur Miller’s 1953 play. The whims of one woman turn a town of good, respectable people upside down. Friends turn against each other and darkness engulfs them in a play that takes you right into the heart of the Salem Witch Trials. Rumour turns to panic which turns to hysteria, but there might be more to people’s accusations than they are letting on…
