Come to Blackfriars Hall's transformed cabaret space and don't miss this fantastic line-up, with the return of Dog-Eared Collective from Leeds and their side-splitting new show, straight from Edinburgh supported by our own home-grown

The Leeds-based collective wowed audiences around the UK in 2006 with their hilarious, self-penned and bizarre comedy ‘The Bi-Annual Barbeque and other stories’ and are back in 2007 with another smash-hit ‘Barnaby Brown: Orphan Extraordinaire’ which they describe as a fast-paced comic assassination, codename: Dickens.
The story follows flaxen-haired Barnaby Brown who must brave the cut-throat world of whistling and the dangerous gaze of Thomas Cook to assert his irresistible orphan je ne sais quoi! Wildly anarchic and darkly surreal, this is a Victorian joyride through glitz and gruel. Sponsored by Alan Boswell Insurance Group, Norwich

Tickets £5 in advance from the Fringe Box Office, Norwich Studio Art Gallery, Upper St Giles or on the door but be warned, numbers are limited! Best get them before if you can.
Bar available


Saturday 13th October 7.30pm
Plath, Paper & Poetry @ The Library Restaurant
A poetry extravaganza with films on loan from the British Council called 'Shooting Rhymes and Cutting Verses' - popular poems illustrated by film-makers and animators plus a trailer of 'The Girl who would be God', a beautiful animation by Suzie Hanna (using paper supplied by GF Smith) - a glimpse into the childhood years of Plath before she met Ted Hughes. Music from Plath's era by Matt and Andy will carry the evening along in the stunning surroundings of the Library Restaurant in Guildhall Hill (the old subscription library)

Eve Stebbing reading Sylvia Plath
Mark Nash reading Ted Hughes
