Winter has arrived at Sheringham Little Theatre, bringing with it a sparkling line-up of comedy, drama and theatre fun to keep you cosy through the colder months.

We also welcome a masterclass in storytelling as The Little Theatre Players present a double bill from Alan Bennett’s much-loved Talking Heads (28th February). Bed Among the Lentils and A Cream Cracker Under the Settee offer two sharply observed portraits of ordinary lives quietly unravelling. With Bennett’s trademark wit and compassion, these monologues explore loneliness, dignity and survival, finding humour in unexpected corners and tenderness in the everyday. By turns laugh-out-loud funny and quietly heartbreaking, this intimate evening of theatre is a celebration of language, character and the resilience of the human spirit.

March brings dark comedy with a distinctly Wildean sparkle in Lord Arthur Saville’s Crime (11th – 14th March). Packed with razor-sharp dialogue and deliciously skewed morality, this satirical tale skewers Victorian notions of duty, fate and respectability. As Lord Arthur’s attempts to preserve his honour spiral into increasingly absurd territory, Wilde’s irreverent humour exposes the dangers of taking society’s rules too seriously. Clever, unsettling and irresistibly funny, this production offers audiences a wickedly entertaining evening that proves Wilde’s wit is as fresh and provocative as ever.

Spring brings a splash of colour and magic as our Youth Theatre takes centre stage with Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR (7th – 11th April). Journey under the sea with Ariel and her aquatic friends in this enchanting adaptation of Disney’s Broadway hit and beloved motion picture. In a magical underwater kingdom, the curious young mermaid Ariel dreams of life beyond the ocean waves. But to follow her heart, she must defy her father King Triton, strike a dangerous bargain with the sea witch Ursula, and convince Prince Eric that she is the girl whose beautiful voice he has been searching for. Brimming with energy, humour and heart, this family-friendly musical celebrates courage, love and finding your own voice.
