May 6th, 13th, 20th & 27th
Saturday 2nd May, 7pm Tuesday 5th May, 7.30pm (future dates TBC), 7-9pm
Written by John Webster.
The widowed Duchess of
Malfi longs to marry her
lover, the steward Antonio but her rancorous brothers,
Ferdinand and the Cardinal,
are implacably opposed to
the match. The Duchess of
Malfi, featuring Hollywood
star Gemma Arterton in the
title role, is a thrilling
combination of brilliant
coups de théâtre, horrific
set-pieces and vivid
characters, all lit by
Webster’s obsessional
imagination. 150 Min.
Frederick Ashton’s final
full-length ballet is one of
his most joyous creations,
inspired by his love for the
Suffolk countryside. It is
based on an 1828 French
ballet and the music was
adapted by John Lanchbery
from Ferdinand Hérold’s
original score. 135 Min.

If you’re interested in

Theatre Company and has
been taught by some of the

playwrights.

Friday 8th May, 7.30pm
An exhilirating evening of
authentic Flamenco. This
show has been created to
express the emotion and
experiences of life: joy and
celebration, love and loss,
humour and sorrow, all that
makes up ‘La Vida’ – Life.
With lightning
footwork, driving rhythms
of the guitar, haunting song
and explosive energy, the
dancers create a flamenco
performance that is
spellbinding, connecting
with the audience in a way
that is intimate and unique.

A devised piece which
dramatizes the story of
Nancy, one of the Stiffkey
Cockle- Pickers. Nancy is
desperate to fill her sack to
feed her children, but the
fog comes down, the tide
comes in and she is lost.
Can Nancy still be heard? Is
she inviting us into the sea
or warning us of the danger? Is she a malevolent or
benevolent spirit? A chilling
story with a strong relevance today - minorities still
lose their lives as voiceless
forgotten beings on our
coastline.
Sentimental pirates,
blundering policemen,
absurd adventures and
improbable paradoxes - this
much-loved comic opera
is a showcase of brilliant
humour and razor-sharp
wit and features a sparkling
score chock-full of
memorable melodies and
catchy tunes. The superb
cast includes the
ever-versatile Andrew Shore
as the very model of a modern Major-General. 135 Min.
Combining historical fact
and contemporary fiction,
Eastern Angles captures
the soul of an ancient local
industry and puts its
beating heart on stage.
Oysters is a tale of sex,
boat-building and bivalve
molluscs. Mo has just
turned fifty and is busy
restoring an oyster dredger
recovered from an Essex
riverbed. Helping him bring
the boat back to life is
Kasey, a young intern with
chip on her shoulder.
When Shaun decides to
take the day off and have
some fun, he gets a little
more action than he
bargained for. A mix up
with the Farmer, a caravan
and a very steep hill lead
them all to the Big City and
it’s up to Shaun and the
flock to return everyone
safely to the green grass of
home. 85 Min.
By William Shakespeare.
Grotesquely violent and
daringly experimental,
Titus was the smash hit of
Shakespeare’s early career,
and is written with a
ghoulish energy he was
never to repeat elsewhere.
This production revisited
Lucy Bailey’s spectacular
Globe production of 2006
and caused a stir
throughout the UK media
with staged violence so
realistic that throughout its
run the play saw audience
members fainting in the
stalls. 186 Min.

Chris Cooper is well known
in North Norfolk. He started to learn piano when he
was seven and attended
Notre Dame High School
in Norwich. He graduated
from Trinity College of
Music in London in 2003.
He plays a range of music
but will, tonight, concentrate on cool swing, sultry
bossa novas and classic
jazz standards. Chris
always gives lively and
entertaining performances
and will be joined by Justin
Myers on bass and Edward
Raison drums.
A half-term holiday activity
which gives an opportunity
for young budding
performers to rehearse the
popular musical Fiddler on
the Roof and showcase
their very own version. The
week will include acting,
singing and dancing with
professional workshop
leaders and some members
of the Easter Sheringham
Little Theatre production.
Places are limited so please
book early to avoid
disappointment.
Set in 1940s France and
based on the
international best-selling
work of Irène Némirovsky,
SUITE FRANÇAISE follows
beautiful Lucile Angellier
who awaits news from her
husband, a prisoner of
war whilst leading a stifled
existence with her
domineering mother-in-law.
When Parisian refugees
pour into their small town,
soon followed by a regiment
of German soldiers who
take up residence in the
villagers’ homes, Lucile’s
life is turned upside down.

When the Client Brief has been established we will produce design
concepts and appropriate drawings which we will submit to the relevant
Local Authority for consideration by the Planning and Building
Regulations departments.
hy might you need the services of a good Architect? You
might be thinking of creating a new home or perhaps
extending your existing property. You might have an idea
about converting a redundant building. You might even run
a business and are looking for reliable advice as to how best
extend or utilise the space you currently have.
Over many years, SMG has developed good working relationships with
our Local Authority departments and we know how to satisfy their
particular and demanding requirements.
SMG can also provide complete building specifications for your project
in order to ensure you can get the best value from your building
contractors.
SMG Architects is a well established and respected local Architectural
Practice with a reputation gained through the design of many well-known
structures in Norfolk and beyond including domestic properties, schools,
public buildings and ecclesiastical work with a keen eye on
conservation. The company operates from two bases in Sheringham
and Norwich.
The SMG service includes every aspect of the building development
process regardless of type. If you are building a new home, converting
a barn, extending a property or embarking on a larger project, we will be
able to help.
It is always preferable to involve an Architect from the earliest stages of a
project as their design expertise and experience can prove invaluable in
ensuring that you make the best possible use of your property.
You can rely on SMG to behave in a professional, courteous and honest
manner and, with a breadth of experience developed over many years,
you can be sure that the highest standards of service will be maintained.

Hardy novel. A headstrong
Victorian beauty has her
choice of three different
suitors: a sheep farmer
(Matthias Schoenaerts), a
dashing soldier (Tom
Sturridge) and a
prosperous, older bachelor
(Michael Sheen). 119 Min.
The most popular opera of
all returns in one of The
Royal Opera’s best loved
stagings, regularly revived
since its opening night in
1974 – and now being seen
for the very last time. John
Copley’s keen stagecraft
and loving attention to
period and dramatic detail
make his production a
masterpiece of realism,
while Julia Trevelyan
Oman’s designs evoke the
atmosphere of 19th century
Paris. 180 Min.
Simon Goodall, a
professional singer-songwriter for over 14 years,
pays tribute to Britain’s
No1 hit-maker Sir Cliff
Richard, who during
2008/9, celebrated a
phenomenal 50 years in
the Music Business. His
compelling vocals
emphasise the sentiment
and authenticity of each
cover song. His admiration
and respect for Cliff is
unquestioned.
A poignant tale presented
by a virtuosic comedy duo
and a piano. It is 1914,
and as two sisters are torn
apart by historic events, an
astonishing narrative
unfolds. Second Soprano
is the untold story of the
nurses and entertainers
who served in WWI. It is
a stirring personal account
and a tragi/comic tribute
performed in a merge
of Physical Comedy,
Post-modern Tragedy,
Music Hall tradition
and Rock ‘N’ Roll.
The Sheringham Players
will be presenting a
fabulous comedy by one of
Britain’s best-loved
playwrights.

Nathan struggles to connect
with people, often pushing
away those who want to be

ability to understand love
or affection, Nathan finds
the comfort and security
he needs in numbers and
mathematics. Mentored
by his unconventional and
anarchic teacher, Mr
Humphreys, it becomes
clear that Nathan’s talents
are enough to win him a
place on the British team
competing at the highly
revered International

By William Shakespeare.
Shakespeare’s tense drama
of high politics reveals the
emotional currents that
flow between men in power
with themes that still resonate even today. This sellout production employed
authentic Renaissance
costumes and staging,
and Dominic Dromgoole’s
impassioned interpretation
of one of Shakespeare’s
classic plays showcased “a
rapport between the
performers and the audience that feels genuinely
magical” (Daily Telegraph).
180 Min.
A passionate tale of lust,
seduction and betrayal, no
other opera boasts as
popular a following as
Bizet’s Carmen. Set during
the dying days of
Franco’s Spain, Calixto
Bieito’s acclaimed
production of this must-see
opera has been enjoyed by
audiences across
Europe. Bizet’s dazzling
score evokes all the sounds
and sizzling atmosphere of
Spain through some of the
opera’s most famous
melodies. 165 Min.
By William Shakespeare.
The third of our Roman
Tragedies, Antony &
Cleopatra picks up Antony’s
story many years after
Julius Caesar. Virtue and
vice, transcendent love
and realpolitik combine
in Shakespeare’s greatest
exploration of the
conflicting claims of sex
and power. The Globe’s
2014 envisioning of this
play encapsulates these
themes whilst threading a
sense of comedy
throughout. 180 Min.
Starring George Clooney
and Britt Robertson. A
teenage girl, a genius
middle-aged man (who was
kicked out of Tomorrowland) and a pre-pubescent
girl robot attempt to get to
and unravel what happened
to Tomorrowland, which
exists in an alternative
dimension, in order to save
Earth.
By William Shakespeare.
Basing his plot on a farce
by Plautus, Shakespeare
caps the mayhem of his
Roman original to build
up a hectic tale of violent
cross-purposes, furious
slapstick and social nightmare. The final Globe On
Screen film for 2015 brings
the perfect light relief to
close an epic season of
war and tragedy. This sellout production employed
authentic Renaissance
costumes and staging and
will have cinema audiences
roaring with laughter.
Running time TBA.

Adaline Bowman (Blake

remained a youthful 29
years of age for nearly eight
decades, never allowing
herself to get close to
anyone lest they discover
her secret. However, a
chance encounter with a
charismatic philanthropist
named Ellis Jones (Michiel
Huisman) reawakens
Adaline’s long-suppressed
passion for life and
romance. 110 Min.
Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a
Slave) takes the title role in
this dynamic new
production of one of English
drama’s oldest plays.
Everyman is successful,
popular and riding high
when Death comes calling.
He is forced to abandon the
life he has built and embark
on a last, frantic search to
recruit a friend, anyone, to
speak in his defence. But
Death is close behind, and
time is running out. 90 Min.
One of the most popular

music and emotion for

Welcome to the Summer Repertory season!
For our special 55th year we are staging five of the `best’ plays,
and we’ve asked our celebrity Patrons to revisit their original
productions as directors. We have an eclectic mix of plays,
including the wonderful Willy Russell comedy Educating Rita, the
chilling thriller The Late Edwina Black, one of Alan Ayckbourn’s
most popular comedies Bedroom Farce, the hilarious Perfect
Wedding and the classic Noël Coward Comedy, Private Lives. This
programme of plays will perfectly showcase the talents and stage
skills of our fantastic professional company.
We hope you will enjoy the season and be able to join us for a
Pre-Theatre Supper too. These are freshly cooked each evening
and will need to be booked in advance (details right). We also
continue our Summer Sunday Cinema and look forward to sharing
it all with you.

Comedy
Here with the same family for 68 years – quietly located just off the town centre.
www.sheringhamlittletheatre.com
Written by Alan Ayckbourn. Directed by Nicky Henson. Sponsored by the Beaumaris Hotel.
Have you found us yet? Just 5 minutes walk from The Little Theatre. Our
spacious restaurant overlooks the garden, where the steam trains puff by!
Ayckbourn’s clever uses of time and space makes this a very intricate and
sophisticated comedy while also portraying the deteriorating and rebuilding
of relationships among young couples. This play explores the differences in
relationships between the younger and older generations while capitalising
on certain unlikely issues that may strain the relationships even further.

Written by Robin Hawdon. Directed by Simon Thompson. Sponsored by Breakwater IT.
Hungover from his stag-night booze-up, our groom wakes on his wedding
morning in his own bridal suite. How did he get there? And why can’t
he remember anything from the night before? This play has provoked
waves of laughter in literally hundreds of productions around Europe and
across America - a riotous comedy and a touching love story.

www.sheringhamlittletheatre.com
Written by Noël Coward. Directed by Peter Craze. Sponsored by Bill LeGrice Roses.
Private Lives is considered a prime example of the sophisticated comedies of
Noël Coward, one of the most prominent dramatists of his era. Amanda and
Elyot divorce and marry other mates. Amanda chooses stuffy Victor, while
Elyot’s selection is the tiresome Sibyl. Coincidentally, both newlywed couples
honeymoon at the same Swiss hotel -- what could go wrong?
