ADMISSIONS Two stars of the small screen star in Admissions – a ‘bold new comedy’ about what we want from the education system – at the Arts Theatre from 3 to 8 June. Alex Kingston ( ER , Doctor Who ) and Miranda ’s Sarah Hadland star in the tale of Sherri, head of admissions at a private school. She’s a liberal who wants to diversify the student intake, and a mum who wants the best for her son. Then her personal ambition collides with her progressive values and she’s forced to make a choice.

THE SKY’S THE LIMIT AT ELY SCIENCE FEST A visit to Ely will be out of this world from 18 May to 9 June, when science festival The Sky’s The Limit arrives to celebrate space and space travel, and commemorate the 50 year anniversary of the first moon landing. This family-friendly event takes place inside Ely’s magnificent medieval Cathedral, with highlights sure to include a seven-metre diameter lunar replica of The Museum of the Moon, by Luke Jerram, suspended from the nave ceiling. It’s an installation that reflects the imagery of the moon’s surface from NASA data. Guest speakers include astronomer royal Lord Rees, Sky at Night presenters Maggie Aderin-Pocock and Chris Lintott, and space enthusiast Dallas Campbell. Exhibits on display will include meteorites, astronaut suits, a space toilet and space food on loan from The Science Museum, The Institute of Astronomy and The Sedgwick Museum. elycathedral.org
