Whats On

Dulcie and Walter is a new play by Catherine Herman. 1970. Dulcie and Walter have spent their married life on a small Norfolk farm. They ‘chunder on’ with stories but Walter is becoming frail. Visits from Dulcie’s great-niece reveal that their relationship has involved moments of glory and some of despair. They also harbour secrets they are determined to keep buried. Dulcie and Walter is a play about the sacrifices women make, growing old, staying wild, and chewin’ the cud.

A new play by Rob John. February 2016. Keith and Pamela Dawson owners of the award-winning Poppyland Guest House in Cromer proudly promise their guests impeccable standards and a traditional, old-school, UK holiday experience. But The Poppyland is struggling to recruit English staff and Pam and Keith reluctantly take on an eccentric Spanish chambermaid with dubious qualifications and a colourful past. Rosa Mendoza a free-spirit from Andalucia arrives in Cromer and nothing at The Poppyland will ever be the same again.

Back again by popular demand and with its original cast Rob John’s much-loved play sets off on its third regional tour.

The Canada Boys is a play about ambition, love, duty, family and mustard.
