War Horse

James Goffin — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 00:50:23 +0000

This story of a boy and his horse, separated by war, is a visually spectacular piece of storytelling – dominated by intricate and impressive puppeteering.

Carl Donnelly: Another Round

James Goffin — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 21:41:27 +0000

The tour title might suggest a laddie show but Carl Donnelly’s wild days are (mostly) passed: this is more like a fun pub catch-up with an old friend.

The House of Bernarda Alba

James Goffin — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 22:11:39 +0000

Much is unseen and unsaid in this all-female drama of death, morality, and politics.

New tour a tonic for Carl

Cultivated — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 20:40:24 +0000

Last year Carl Donnelly did a show about how much he’s enjoying life. Then life decided to challenge him on that.

Josie Long: Now Is The Time Of Monsters

James Goffin — Sat, 27 Sep 2025 23:01:53 +0000

These are troubled times, says Josie Long in her new touring show – but things have long been weird, and perhaps we should use that as an excuse to live and to celebrate.

Lovesong

James Goffin — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 21:49:51 +0000

This series of snapshots through a couple’s life together is a softly-delivered sucker punch, packed with emotion and unexpected twists.

Norwich Hamlets

James Goffin — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 20:17:49 +0000

Shakespeare’s most ponderous play serves as inspiration for five short performances in this joint community project from Norwich Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Hamilton: An American Musical

James Goffin — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 22:58:39 +0000

It seems spectacularly unlikely that a musical about establishing the fledging United States’ financial system would become a worldwide hit – but somehow that is (sort of) the story of Hamilton.

Rave On: The Ultimate 50s and 60s Experience

James Goffin — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 21:45:16 +0000

The heyday of rock’n’roll spanned the Atlantic and left a legacy of dozens of great tunes – and Rave On is a whistlestop tour through many of them.

Esther Manito: Slagbomb

James Goffin — Sun, 14 Sep 2025 21:39:57 +0000

The main motif for this show is the Skegness Slagbomb, an unlikely cocktail made up of Jägermeister, WKD, and Iron Bru – but one apparently essential to getting through a modern UK seaside holiday.

East Anglian debut for prison-inspired play

James Goffin — Sun, 14 Sep 2025 14:54:41 +0000

The Midnight Bell

James Goffin — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 23:15:56 +0000

The Midnight Bell offers a seductive slice of 1930s Soho, served up through Matthew Bourne’s signature sharply characterised dance.

The Exoplanets

James Goffin — Sat, 06 Sep 2025 22:23:18 +0000

This world premiere performance mixed music and science in a high concept but very human production that took us to the outer reaches of space, and the inner lives of its protagonists.

Paul Zerdin: Jaw-drop

James Goffin — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 21:58:38 +0000

Ventriloquism is a largely neglected form of comedy; while there are plenty of stand ups, combining that with voice throwing and puppetry is a whole different level of skill.

Ladies Day

James Goffin — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 22:59:18 +0000

Four women take a step outside their normal lives in this lively comedy drama.

Fiddler on the Roof

James Goffin — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 22:34:59 +0000

It might sound slightly odd to say that a musical focuses on the music – but not every one does.

Ding Dong

James Goffin — Sat, 09 Aug 2025 23:38:22 +0000

The 65th year of seaside rep theatre at Sheringham Little Theatre sticks to tradition with a farce – pretty much the only thing missing is the vicar.

Steve & Steff For Ever

James Goffin — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 22:35:41 +0000

Notting Hill meets Bury St Edmunds in this seductive promenade rom com performance.
