ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS performance 2
2019-10-18 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | The John Godber Centre, Ogle Street, Hucknall, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG15 7FQ, United Kingdom
Lovelace Theatre Group will be holding their annual October production here at the John Godber Centre Hucknall, Nottingham on the 17th and 18th October with their production of One Man, Two Guvnors by Richard Bean, presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH LTD, a Concord Theatricals Company.
Newly unemployed Francis Henshall becomes minder to small time gangster Roscoe Crabbe. But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel, who is posing as her own dead brother after he was killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers.
Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a second job with one Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be reunited with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple.
We’re proud to be the home of Lovelace Theatre Group and look forward to their next production on our stage. Tickets are on sale now at https://seaty.co.uk/lovelaceoct19 or cash purchase from the Centre reception desk.
Tickets: £7 each / £6 Concessions

Written by Teechers writer John Godber and Jane Thornton, audience members are in for a treat as ETC sprinkle twists, turns and immersive theatre onto this classic 1984 play which still dominates theatres across the world.
Every town has its Shakers, the oh so trendy cocktail bar where everyone wants to be seen, from the checkout girls to the chinless wonders, from the luvvies to the local lads tittering at the thought of a “long slow comfortable screw”. Shakers gives a wickedly funny glimpse of this world as seen through the eyes of the four long-suffering bar workers, offering a fascinating view of the reality that lurks behind the plastic palms and the Pina Coladas.
Doors: 7:00pm
Show: 7:30pm
There will be a 15 min interval and bar service.

Beauty and the Beast
2023-01-19 - 2023-01-22
Join Lovelace Theatre Group for their 2023 panto – Beauty and the Beast
In this adaptation of the traditional tale, Beauty and the Beast tells the story of a Prince transformed into a Beast, and his eventual redemption through the love of a girl called Belle.
Our panto version begins with the vain Prince George refusing the amorous advances of an older woman, who is actually a witch. In revenge, she turns him into a horrible beast, and his servants into household objects. Doomed to die tormented and alone, his only hope is if somebody falls in love with him before the last petal on an enchanted rose falls.
The Lovelace’s production contains everything you would expect to find in a traditional panto. A classic love story, pathos, comedy and of course, a happy ending..

2023-02-24 19:30 - 20:30
In a world where it’s okay to be gay, with pride marches and celebrations in the LGBT community one gay actor is struggling to come to terms with how to ‘be gay’.
Created as a response to performed sexuality and the social debate of ‘gay parts for gay actors’, follow the unnamed protagonist in this one-man LGBT comedy as he deals with family, friends, love, sex and work. What is it like to be part of the community? How difficult is dating for a same-sex couple? Are there any restrictions at work? Can an understanding family become a barrier to being your true self?
Written and Performed by Tom Stevenson, with an estimated 1 hour run time.

I can’t wait to bring this to the John Godber Centre stage and I know our wonderful cast will do justice to all of the iconic characters. You’re all in for a treat!’
Linda Mayes: ‘I’m really looking forward to bringing this comedy to the stage for you all to enjoy. “Allo Allo” is a trip down memory lane which wouldn’t be complete without a visit to René’s cafe.’

Tickets are on sale from Monday 17th May by calling 07761092195 or emailing info@lovelacetheatregroup.co.uk and the production we will be helping raise money for the Dementia Choir
‘If you remember Ronnie & Suzie from the groups previous production of A Night To Remember, you’ll remember they had a very up and down relationship! Since we last saw them, they’ve grown even closer, made plenty of memories, went on to get married, had a son and even have grandchildren now!
This is a script that has been written by some members of the group.
This could be quite triggering for some, as the production touches on a real subject, Dementia, that is close to many peoples hearts and real life experiences that some of the groups members & families have been through themselves. It will still have you laughing till your sides hurt, maybe shedding a tear or two and they will definately be encouraging you to sing along with them’
