The Norfolk and Norwich Festival 2010 is here!

There are loads of events (big ones, small ones, free ones!) on from now until 23 May across the city and county, and there are some top shows coming right here to the Playhouse.

Enjoy great music from Jason Yarde, Gwyneth Herbert and the Elias String Quartet. Take a trip into the bizarre with theatre from dance company Erre Que Erre and musical group Zic Zazou. Be blown away on a flood of bubbles with Charlie and Lola’s Bestest Best Show!

Over 2000 people have been to the theatre over the last week to look for bears with our fantastic children’s show WE’RE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT, but don’t worry – there are still plenty of bears left to find!

Join a family of intrepid explorers and their multi-instrumentalist dog Buddy on their quest to find a bear. Squelch through the thick, oozy mud – swish through the long, wavy grass – wade through the splishy splashy river (watch out, you might get wet!)

Based on Michael Rosen’s best-selling picture book, this pacy, fun-packed show is a great treat for kids and adults alike.

Our spring 2010 season is here, jam-packed with amazing comedy, dance, drama and music shows for you to enjoy. Check out our WHAT’S ON page to browse through the upcoming shows.

Comedy highlights include shows from TIM VINE (puns), CHRIS ADDISON (satire), DAVID O’DOHERTY (music), LUCY PORTER (unbridled loveliness) and RICHARD HERRING (moustache based social commentary).

You can enjoy the sounds of a capella music as you’ve never heard it before from THE MAGNETS, classic jazz from STACEY KENT, or alternative cabaret tunes from THE TIGER LILLIES.

If you want to see something just a bit out of the ordinary, try ONE MAN LORD OF THE RINGS, the atmospheric and chilling ERNEST AND THE PALE MOON (our pick of the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe), or RUBY WAX in the semi-autobiographical comedy-drama LOSING IT. 

Oh, and keep an eye open for our new (blue) brochure which covers January to May 2010, out now at a bar/shop/tourist information centre/doormat near you!

As I said, blue.
