Norwich Playhouse was very sad to hear of the death of Humphrey Lyttelton, who was due to perform here in July. The concert will go ahead as a tribute to Humph, featuring his friend and colleague, jazz singer Tina May. Click HERE for more information |

Pedestrianisation of St. George's Street |
Work is continuing on the pedestrianisation of St. George's Street, and the area immediately surrounding the Playhouse should be finished soon. St. George's Street has now been reopened from the Colegate end. Cars can approach from Colegate to drop off passengers outside the Playhouse, and can turn opposite the theatre. The bridge will be permanently closed to most traffic from now on. If you are bringing a party in a coach or driving a large delivery vehicle, please call the Playhouse office on 01603 612580 for the latest advice. Watch this space for updates as we have them from the contractors undertaking the work. Thank you for your patience. |
