A brand new touring production of Tim Whitnall's hugely popular Olivier Award-winning play, starring the Olivier-nominated Bob Golding as comedy icon Eric Morecambe. Directed by Paul Hendy, the show is a moving, often hilarious tale about one of Britain's best-loved entertainers: from humble beginnings in music hall to 28 million viewers on Christmas Day, it's the heart-warming, tear-jerking, laughter-inducing story of the man what brought us the sunshine. The show was originally stage to mark 25 years since the comedian's sudden death at the age of 58, however its proved so popular it has run and run and this revival marks the 30th anniversary. What do you think of it so far?

THEATRE

She Stoops To Conquer

Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds, May 13-17, £20-£8.50, 01284 769505, www.theatreroyal.org

With mayhem and merriment, this classic comedy by Oliver Goldsmith revels in mistakes and misunderstandings. Marlow stutters and quivers around educated and well-to-do young women, so when his father sets him up with his old friend's daughter Kate, he is totally tongue-tied. But Kate's attraction to her nervous suitor leads her to embrace a new and rather different persona to win him over. From Creative Cow, who won acclaim for their production of Charley's Aunt.
