Norwich - A Love Story

Close

This event has passed.

Writer, theatre-maker and storyteller John Osborne has created a show in celebration of Norwich.

In recognition of two decades spent in this fine city, the writer and performer who created cult-hit John Peel’s Shed,  brings this special one-off show to the Playhouse this October with some special guests.

Norwich: A Love Story saunters through the city, relishing the bustle of the marketplace, the timeless beauty of the cathedral and the indispensable items available in Thorne’s.

Set in amongst these cobbled streets and familiar haunts, John unfurls a love-story which celebrates Norwich’s rich history, its most-loved landmarks and its hospitality, especially to strangers.

The show features artwork by Norwich painter Pinch, which depicts some of the city’s most recognisable landmarks.
