Gaiety

From 7.30pm
Free entree but donation are welcomed
A Crude Apache double bill to celebrate the second Norwich Pride. Before the interval you can enjoy Gay Play by writer / director Chantal Schaul. This camp and flamboyant comedy in one act takes you from doctor's surgery to erotic garden to medieval torture dungeon, meeting some truly grotesque characters along the way.
After the interval you will be taken to the sleazy clubs and stages of 1930s Berlin in For Adults Only: The Weimar Years. This brand new show by the Crude Apache Broadcasting Corporation features sketches and songs by Beverly Nichols, Lady Kitty Vincent and, of course, darling Noel Coward.
To book a (free) ticket in advance, please contact the Crude Apache Hotline on 07758 703 766 or contact joannayorke@hotmail.com.
