MAY AT THE THEATRE ROYAL
May at the Theatre Royal begins with an all-star cast of TV favourites in the revival of Mike Stott’s adult comedy classic Funny Peculiar. Former Coronation Street pair Craig Gazey, who played Graeme Proctor, and Vicky Entwistle, aka mega- mouth Janice Battersby, star in the show until May 5 alongside Suzanne Shaw (Hear’say and Emmerdale) and Gemma Bissix (Hollyoaks and EastEnders). It follows the story of newly-married small-town grocer Trevor Tinsley who is tempted by the charms of his next-door neighhbour, in a show which is definitely not for the kids. The stars of stage and screen are celebrated in a brand-new show from the Hethersett-based Yvonne School of Dance on May 6, before the acclaimed all-male Shakespeare company Propeller return to Norwich as part of their world tour on May 9-12. This time, they are presenting Henry V, the tale of the greatest British warrior in English folklore, and the tragic fairytale The Winter’s Tale. Also joining the company for his very first Propeller tour is Karl Davies, best known for playing Robert Sugden in Emmerdale and Lyle in ITV’s Norfolk-set Sunday night hit Kingdom opposite Stephen Fry. The theatre then hosts a programme of events for this year’s Norfolk and Norwich before Northern Ballet return to the Theatre Royal stage from May 29 with I Got Rhythm. Set to the music of George Gershwin, ballet meets jazz in a stunning show which captures the essence of the Twenties in a show packed with glittering dancers, stunning routines and the Northern Ballet Sinfonia performing on-stage Big Band style.
HEAR THE WAR CRY
There are big sounds coming out of Iceni 5, a non-profit record label based in Norwich. From the label’s founding artists, 529 Limited, Case, Siris and Zillion comes a compilation of tracks entitled ‘War Cry’. These are the sounds Iceni 5 go to battle with; the album is a mix of aspects from the signature sounds that each audio warrior has to offer, spanning across several genres including Drum & Bass, Dubstep & Reggae. The album has an eclectic mix of emotions from each individual artist and will take you on an illuminated path that slowly winds you to the pitch black, overcast, darkest days of the ancestral theatre of contention. The album helps celebrate Iceni 5's first anniversary since being born a year ago and is the third release from the label, which receives support from the Big Lottery Fund. Iceni 5’s aim is to give young artists a chance to release their music and talents to a wider audience of listeners and to give them guidance in the music industry. An affiliate of Future Projects, the team are mentored by Jay from the EZ Rollers. For details about the label and to get your hands on its release, go to

YOUR PATH TO LEARNING
For some people, school might seem a little far away, but a new path to learning might be closer than you think. You may not have walked straight into college or university, but it doesn’t mean your learning options are taken away from you. Life is all about learning new skills, enjoying new experiences and trying something different, and this can start after you’ve left school with one of Norfolk County Council’s Adult Education courses. They offer a range of courses from arts, crafts, music, and photography to a language or maths qualification. There are even programmes especially designed for young learners aged from 16-18, who may be unsure of which direction to take after leaving full time education. In addition, there are courses that could help to improve your job prospects, help you towards a new career or enable you to move on to Higher Education.
