It’s Father’s Day this weekend, and we know that dads are notoriously difficult people to buy gifts for. If you’re still struggling for inspiration, look no further than our specially selected gift guide to show the dad, grandad, or even plant-dad in your life how much they mean to you.  

For the dad who loves who dunnits… 

Take them down for a drink at the Playhouse Bar and a night of suspense and mystery with Watson: The Final Problem. Set in 1894 and with the great Sherlock Holmes gone, this one-man show is bursting at the seams with stars and critical acclaim.   

For the dad who follows sport… 

Jack’s Ashes is a unique and award-winning show that follows a former professional cricketer as he gives his team talk. It uses humour to skilfully tackle topics of mental health amongst men, and has been commended for its “perfect balance of humour and heart” (South Western Times).   

For the dad who’s a kid at heart… 

Would your dad know the answer to the question, ‘Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?’. Bring the whole family to the theatre for The SpongeBob Musical, jam-packed with original songs by world-famous artists, a ticket to this is sure to brighten their Father’s Day.  

For the dad that loves a laugh… 

Chaotic, yet slick. Over a decade of performances, yet brand new every night. Showstopper! The Improvised Musical is improvised musical comedy at its best and guarantees a night of hilarity. If you’re really not sure what gift to get, this one is sure to be a winner.  

For the dad that’s a history-buff… 

Based in 1914, The Land of Might-Have-Been is a brand-new musical based on the music of Ivor Novello. It follows the story of young Vera Brittain and her friends as they navigate their lives, relationships and dreams at the beginning of World War I.  

For the dad that loves fantasy… 

Did they binge-watch Stranger Things or A Monster Calls? The Ocean at the End of the Lane is another stunning production from the National Theatre that follows a spectacular and fantastical story of nostalgia and suspense with stunning set and design.  

 For the dad who loves scary movies… 

2:22 A Ghost Story has taken the West End by storm and is now coming to Norwich. It promises a brilliant and adrenaline-filled night where secrets emerge, and ghosts may or may not appear… But Dad’s not scared of those, right?  

 For the dad who loves the theatre…
