Its a festival of firsts for me this year. First time writing about dance. First time writing about music and first time at The Norwich Puppet Theatre. I don't know why it's taken me so long - its a brilliant venue that I will be keeping a closer eye on for sure. Improbable have been … Continue reading Improbable- The Paper Man

Hofesh Shechter Company – Grand Finale
Confusingly the first production I saw at this years Norfolk and Norwich Festival was a show called Grand Finale at the Norwich Theatre Royal. As with last years Norfolk and Norwich Festival I try and see an eclectic mixture of productions, partly to keep the blog interesting, but mainly to keep taking me out of … Continue reading Hofesh Shechter Company – Grand Finale
Fun House- Brisbane Festival 2017
The first post from my amazing trip to Australia is about a theatre show- which was actually one of the last things I did whilst out there. BUT this show finishes on Sunday 24th September so I wanted to post this before then just in case it tempts anyone in and around Brisbane to go! … Continue reading Fun House- Brisbane Festival 2017
HighTide Festival 2017
I hate missing out on exciting theatre, but that is one thing I will be doing this September. Now I know I can't complain too much about missing this festival – especially as I will be having amazing adventures in Australia (and possibly even seeing theatre at the Brisbane Festival ) but I thought seeing … Continue reading HighTide Festival 2017
Shakespeare With The Handlebards
Last Friday I saw my first ( and sadly probably only) outdoor theatre of the summer. Shakespeare's As You Like It performed by brilliant company - The Handlebards.

Driftwood- Casus Circus
Last night I went on my first trip of the week to The Norfolk and Norwich Festival. This time I was walking up to The Spiegeltent in Chapelfield Gardens. It was another beautiful day so once I collected my ticket it was all about a pint of cider. I was at the Adnams Spiegeltent to … Continue reading Driftwood- Casus Circus
Super Sunday- Race Horse Company
Race Horse Company are an all male Finnish Contemporary Circus Troupe created in 2008 with an aim “to take over the world” and after what I saw last night I think they actually can! Race Horse Company turned the Theatre Royal stage into an abandoned fairground and proceeded to run riot on the equipment that … Continue reading Super Sunday- Race Horse Company
Summer. Autumn. Winter. Spring.
My first trip to this years Norfolk and Norwich Festival was to see Summer. Autumn. Winter. Spring. A seven hour production about life, death and the passing of time. As you can see I wasn't going to ease myself into the festival slowly- I was going in headfirst with no idea what I was about … Continue reading Summer. Autumn. Winter. Spring.

This years launch was held at The Shoe … Continue reading The Norfolk & Norwich Festival 2017
