10 Things To Do This Week
We know it’s exam time, but here’s a few events you might be able to justify as ‘cultural procrastination’…
1) 2nd and 3rd Year recitals @ Djanogly Recital Hall
Monday- Wednesday, Free
Come and see second and third year students in their assessed recitals this week.
2) I Am @ Showcase Cinema
Thursday, 7.15pm, £10
Although The Tab doesn’t usually include films in our what’s on listings we had to give this a mention. I Am is Tom Shadyac’s new release and is only showing for one day at selected cinemas around the country. The film examines what is wrong with the world and how we can make it better. This all from the guy who brought us Ace Ventura. It will be an interesting watch for anyone who heads down.

3) Live at Lunch @ Theatre Royal
Thursday, 12.15pm, Free
After the stresses and strains of an intense exam period, what could be better than spending lunch time listening to some soothing blues? Dale Storr, from Sheffield, is a master of New Orleans Piano and will be tenderly caressing the ivories for free in the Theatre Royal Dress Circle Foyer.
