English Touring Opera present: The Gondoliers
2026-04-25 19:30 - 21:00 (Europe/London) | Norwich Theatre Royal, Theatre Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR2 1RL, United Kingdom
Two handsome and charming gondoliers discover that one is the long-lost heir to the throne of Barataria – but which one? In the pursuit of the truth, a bewildering series of events threatens both their marriages and their claim to the throne.
The Gondoliers, Gilbert and Sullivan’s last great success, is a fizzing comedy of mistaken identity that marries joy and chaos with a sharp satire of monarchy and class. This new production is helmed by Liam Steel, who directed ETO’s Olivier Award-winning production of Paul Bunyan.
Sung in English with English surtitles.

In the beginning, Katie and Body were best friends. In the beginning, Katie and Body were infinite with possibilities…’
Katie’s taken up synchronised swimming. She’s buoyant and beautiful, but it’s a lot harder than they thought. When the promise of campy fun and liberation fails to materialise, Katie feels further from her body than ever before.
Join Katie and Body on their quest traversing forgiveness, beauty and whales as they ask: what does care look like for a fat body?
Award-winning artist Katie Greenall and The Hale’s new show takes audiences on a joyous journey of storytelling, ebbing and flowing to explore what placing kindness and care first can look like.

Hi, hope you’re ok. My show is about hope. It’s also about mental illness, good liars, bad ideas, Lorraine Kelly and a gang lord forcing me to hold a raw chicken. But it’s mostly about hope. I live with a complex mental illness called borderline personality disorder (BPD) and I started writing this, about that, in January 2020.
It’s been a long 5 years, but I’m finally here.
Please come. I wrote it for you.

Two Halves of Guinness
2026-04-18 19:30 - 21:30 | Norwich Theatre Playhouse, 42-58 St Georges Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1AB, United Kingdom
In an exceptional exploration of one of Britain’s greatest actors, Zeb Soanes brings the life of Sir Alec Guinness to stage across the UK, marking the 25th anniversary of his death. With nearly 70plays, 50 films, over a dozen television dramas, and two Oscars to his name, Sir Alec Guinness’ career spanned Shakespeare, the beloved Ealing comedies, and Hollywood classics. Yet he feared he would only be remembered for one role: Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars.
Two Halves of Guinness is a witty, heartfelt tour through Guinness’ extraordinary life and career – his encounters with John Gielgud, Shakespeare, the greats of stage and screen, and the galaxy of stars who shaped his journey.
Acclaimed broadcaster and actor Zeb Soanes stars as Alec Guinness. Known as one of the most recognisable voices in the UK through his years on BBC Radio 4 (Today Programme, Shipping Forecast) and now on Classic FM, Soanes also acted in numerous BBC radio dramas alongside David Warner, Toby Jones, and Simon Russell Beale. When Soanes was 17 years old, he wrote a letter of admiration to Sir Alec Guinness – his hero – and received a neatly hand-written reply within a week, wishing him luck in his career. Now, decades later, Soanes embodies Guinness on stage, lending his rich voice and virtuosity to once again breathe life into the legendary actor and the unforgettable figures who shaped his career.
