RoughCast Theatre Company

By

“That is the story of our beginning. And this is the story of… the end”

RoughCast Theatre Company, the highly skilled local theatre troupe, is touring Suffolk with a production of “Lovesong” by Abi Morgan (The Iron Lady, Suffragette, The Split). This poignant drama, from 2011, follows the ups and downs of a 40-year marriage. It is told from two moments in a couple’s lives – as young lovers in their twenties and as elderly companions. Only the stoniest hearted will fail to be moved.

The Seagull Theatre

By

Approaching Shadows is the second feature film from North Wales arts and media charity TAPE Community Music and Film. The film was helmed by TAPE’s founder, Steve Swindon who grew up in Lowestoft and took his first creative steps at The Seagull Theatre back in late 80s and early 90s.

The film was released in July 2022 by London-based company, Bohemia Media who acquired the film due to the ground-breaking, inclusive production processes used throughout.

Steve is presenting the film as a fundraiser for the Seagull Theatre ahead of travelling to Los Angeles in April for the film’s US Premiere. Further details at https://theseagull.co.uk/

Cromer Artspace

By

The Cromer Artspace Auction Exhibition 2023 will run from April 24th to May 13th at Artspace on the Prom. Artists are generously donating works for the show. Bidding will take place at the exhibition and online via the Cromer Artspace website.

The exhibition is called TA-DAH! (we’re back)

Because it launches the new season.

Last year Artspace on the Prom had over 10,000 visitors. The auction show raised a significant amount of money, which really helped us improve the gallery and keep costs down for our exhibiting artists.

Cromer Artspace is a charity. We make no profit and are staffed and run by volunteers. We want to keep exhibiting affordable for artists. We would also like to keep improving the building, offering support for emerging artists and bringing new art to the area. All of these aspirations require money. A piece of art from you can help make these dreams a reality. For more details visit https://cromer-artspace.uk/
