Abigail’s Party
2025-06-19 19:30 - 22:30 (Europe/London) | Rackheath Village Hall, Green Ln W, Rackheath,, Norwich, Norfolk, NR13 6LT, United Kingdom
Rackheath Players’ June production of Abigail’s Party by Mike Leigh.
Abigail’s Party is Mike Leigh’s iconic suburban comedy of manners, set in 1970s Essex. Over drinks, cheesy nibbles, and Demis Roussos records, Beverly and Laurence host a painfully awkward gathering for their neighbours. As the night wears on and the alcohol flows, polite conversation gives way to simmering tensions, social one-upmanship, and marital discord. All the while, teenage Abigail’s unseen party next door looms large. Hilarious, excruciating, and ultimately unsettling, this classic play is a razor-sharp look at class, aspiration, and the masks we wear.
📅 19th – 21st June
🕕 7.30pm
📍Rackheath Village Hall

Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby
2025-06-19 19:30 - 22:00, 2025-06-18 19:30 - 22:00, 2025-06-17 19:30 - 22:00 | Norwich Theatre Royal, Theatre Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR2 1RL, United Kingdom
Rambert’s thrilling stage adaptation “The Redemption of Thomas Shelby” captures the Peaky story, with stunning performances from Rambert’s dancers and an iconic soundtrack from a live on-stage band.
Opening in the trenches of Flanders, a personal story unfolds in post-war industrial Birmingham as the Shelby family navigate the decisions that determine their fate and Tommy is intoxicated by mysterious newcomer, Grace. While Tommy is building his empire, Grace is operating as an undercover agent for Special Branch on a mission to get close to the heart of Tommy’s gang. As the story unfolds, hearts are broken, and revenge is sought.
Spectacular dramatization and breath-taking dance is heightened by a live on-stage band performing specially commissioned music by Roman GianArthur and iconic Peaky tracks from Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Radiohead, Anna Calvi, The Last Shadow Puppets, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
Throughout Rambert’s packed-out UK theatre tour, long-time fans of the TV show and audiences coming to Peaky fresh, were united in their enthusiasm for this adaptation written by the series’ creator Steven Knight with direction and choreography by Rambert’s Artistic Director Benoit Swan Pouffer.
“Rambert… an independent dance company, dedicated to bringing dance to the people. I’m a patron, we share a philosophy.” Tommy Shelby S5, Ep 4

About our Presenter
Nicky Stainton
As someone who got into her chosen career, arts management, through volunteering and has worked alongside volunteers in many different contexts Nicky is a passionate advocate of the benefits of volunteering.
She firmly believes that if volunteering isn’t of mutual benefit to both organisation and volunteer, then it won’t endure. But that benefit takes many guises – making connections, gaining insights and increasing empathy, developing skills, knowledge and confidence, feeling a part of the community, having a greater sense of self-worth, making things happen, learning humility, having fun.
Since starting as an assistant at the Norfolk & Norwich Festival Nicky has helped set up and lead arts charities (including Norwich Arts Centre, Creative Arts East and The Company of Imagination) and social enterprise Waveney & Blyth Arts, as well as acting as a trustee, board member and school governor. She now focuses on developing and promoting volunteering across Norfolk for Voluntary Norfolk, itself a charity that engages with many volunteers.
