The ultimate live cult film experience!
LIVE LIVE CINEMA takes four actor-musicians and pushes their multi-tasking skills to the limit. While Roger Corman's 1960 comic and macabre film plays behind them, the four performers work at break-neck speed to re-voice multiple characters in perfect lip synch, whilst playing a brand new score and creating live sound effects.
With our stars leaping from piano to guitar, bass to door bell, to that thing that makes the sound of footsteps - this is LIVE LIVE CINEMA's most dangerous 4-D movie yet.
It's a wild ride - where you gonna look?

Life's most momentous occasions celebrate new direction, change, a fresh focus, moving on; New Years' resolutions, a break up, moving house, changing jobs, getting married.
So don't get stuck in that rut, throw off those comfy old slippers and come on down to Off the Cuff: Out with the Old, In with the New, Nelson's monthly improv show at the Theatre Royal.
There will be nothing old, in fact it will all be made up on the spot - comedy, songs, drama, poetry, dance - you can't get newer than that! We might sing Old MacDonald, have new adventures, meet some old characters, create a new hope, get a little old school or experience a brave new world.

It's springtime and something isn't right. Where have the bees gone? What has happened to the Queen Bee? Has Bizzy Lizzy the evil Wasp Queen something to do with it?
We know our bee population is declining but Buzzz brings us one particular hive with a story about believing in yourself. A story that says YOU can make a difference.
Buzzz - a brand new pantomime, written here in Nelson has all the traditional panto fun we know and love. Alongside the slapstick, goodies, baddies, the hero and dame is an interactive message we just can't ignore!
Buzzz - can YOU save the bees?
C’mon, you got this. Oh no, he didn’t. No more kidding. Game on. Oh, hell no! It’s going down. Buckle up. Man your stations … cos it’s about to get real.
Things are going to get real at Off the Cuff, Nelson’s monthly improv show at the Theatre Royal on Friday 19th August at 7.30pm.
We don’t know if it’s going to get real scary, real funny, real dramatic, real romantic, real villainous, real serious, real thrilling or real suspenseful, but we do know it’s about to get real. So hang up your rod and reel and the ‘gone fishin’ sign’ and head down to the Theatre Royal for a really great evening of improvised music, comedy and drama.

The time has come
"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: of shoes and ships and sealing wax; of cabbages and kings; and why the sea is boiling hot; and whether pigs have wings."
There is never enough time to do all that we want to do, but you need to make the time on Friday 29th July at 7.30pm to come to Off the Cuff: It’s Time, Nelson’s monthly improv show at the Theatre Royal.
We may not talk about shoes and ships and sealing wax or even flying pigs, but we’re sure to talk about time flying, ticking time bombs, running late, having the time of your life, wasted time, get a bit cuckoo over a cuckoo clock or simply do the Time Warp again!
This month we also have special guest Jen O’Sullivan improviser extraordinaire from Wellington giving her time to join us.
Off the Cuff: It’s Time ... Friday 29 July 7.30pm at the Theatre Royal. Bookings are available through Ticket Direct or from the Theatre Royal.

With our improv powers combined there are no limits to where we may go at Off the Cuff, Nelson’s monthly improv show.
Using our powers combined we’ll belt out those power ballads, embrace a bit of flower power, use our will power, get a bit shagedelic with Austin Powers or maybe just join Grey Power.

The Brilliant & The Bonkers
A whirlwind talk of the best bits and best-forgotten-about bits of piano history. Presented by Áine Byrne with Doug Hill on piano.
Silent Movie
Buster delivers his usual repertoire of charming chaos in Go West (1925) as ‘Friendless’, a young vagabond heading west in search of his fortune, accompanied by an unlikely leading lady on screen and the nimble fingered Gabor Tolnay on piano.
Let's be Sense-able ... how many times has your Mum said that to you? Off the Cuff will have a little bit of sense, a little bit of sensibility and a lot of laughs at this months' improv show at the Theatre Royal.
Who knows, we may sense a murder, display some common sense, suffer from sensory overload or simply show our sensitive side.
*All members of Off the Cuff previously performed in the highly successful improv show The Deep End.
