10 Days of Play
Blog posted:15 December 2011
Christmas is descending and its time for us all here at Norwich Playhouse to take a well earned festive break. Our office will be closed from the 21st of December and our first show of 2012 is the wonderful Pasadena Roof Orchestra on Friday 6th of January. But what will you do with yourselves whilst we are home warming ourselves by the fire and eating chocolates from the christmas tree? Fear not! Our colourful and friendly sister bar, The Playhouse Bar, is hosting 10 Days of Play.
Starting on Tuesday 20th of December and running until 6pm on the Saturday 31st of Dec (not including christmas day or boxing day), the bar is offering you the chance to try your hand at screen printing, origami, drawing and crafts, to join them for an evening of NOISE featuring The Neutrinos, Death of Death of Discotheque and more, to sit by firepits and hear stories, to play as much Ping Pong as your hands can handle, to watch a host of excellent films and much, much more culminating in a rawkus farewell to 2011 with the Guitar Noise Orchestra. To make it even more enticing, all the events are free!
Check out the Playhouse Bar Facebook page for regular updates on whats going on or grab a brochure from the bar.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and see you all in 2012!

NEW SHOWS AHOY!
Blog posted:23 November 2009
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.Â
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!
