Life of Pi
25 – 30 September
Based on one of the best-loved works of fiction, Life of Pi is a breathtaking new theatrical adaptation of an epic journey of endurance and hope. After a cargo ship sinks in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, there are five survivors stranded on a single lifeboat: a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan, a sixteen-year-old boy and a Bengal tiger and time is against them. Don’t miss stunning puppetry!
2:22 A Ghost Story
10 – 14 October
The new stage phenomenon that has taken the West End by storm now comes to Norwich, starring Joe Absolom, Charlene Boyd, Nathaniel Curtis and Louisa Lytton. Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam isn’t having any of it. Can the dead walk again? Belief and scepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer.
The Full Monty
24 – 28 October
As in the 1997 smash hit film, this brand-new production is a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, laughs and heartbreak. Gaz and his mates are down on their luck and feel they have been thrown on the scrap heap, but they are determined to fight back and bare a little more than they ever thought they would have to.
Quiz
31 October – 4 November
Britain’s top satirical impressionist, Rory Bremner, stars as TV’s Chris Tarrant in James Graham’s thrilling, entertaining, and provocative drama. September 2001: the nation is gripped by a scandal that remains, to this day, a mystery. In an outrageously audacious heist, Charles Ingram, aka the Coughing Major, and his accomplices duped the world’s most popular TV quiz show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, out of £1,000,000. Or did they? It is time to ask the audience!
Noises Off
7 – 11 November
Michael Frayn’s celebrated play serves up a riotous double bill, a play within a play. Hurtling along at breakneck speed, Noises Off follows the on and off stage antics of a touring theatre company as they stumble their way through the fictional farce, Nothing On. Starring Matthew Kelly and Liza Goddard.
And Then There Were None
30 January – 3 February 2024
Ten strangers are lured to a solitary mansion off the coast of Devon. When a storm cuts them off from the mainland, the true reason for their presence on the island becomes horribly clear. This brand-new production of the best-selling crime novel of all time by Agatha Christie will keep you on the edge of your seat.
