“This young man has Great Expectations.”

A new dramatisation of Charles Dickens’s great novel.

A young boy in a deserted graveyard at sunset; a vicious convict on the loose. A dark opening indeed to Circle 67’s production of Great Expectations. Enjoy a rich palette of Dickensian characters and a full spectrum of human emotion. We hope you will reflect on its title: what you wish for may depend on the values you cherish.

Circle 67, as our name implies, was founded in 1967 to bring high-quality and accessible drama to our local area.

New members are always welcome. If you would like to join Circle 67, or to simply receive details of our forthcoming productions, then please contact us – info@circle67.co.uk

Grace Adam is running a series of creative workshops and talks. Grace teaches at Chelsea College of Arts and the Royal Academy of Arts and has a lot of experience of leading friendly, informative creative workshops – working at The National Portrait Gallery, The Courtauld and Tate as well as with community groups, schools and colleges.

Grace’s workshops include friendly, tailored tuition, lots of tea and all materials are provided. You’ll be able to develop your work, with new ideas and practical guidance. All of the workshops start with a short informative PowerPoint; a bit of context, art history and inspiration. Whether you are experienced or just starting out, you’re welcome. Waveney and Blyth Arts members get a £10 discount on the workshops.

Can’t get to London to see an exhibition? Or just want the lowdown before you go? Come along for a friendly evening and learn all about the shows. Enjoy a PowerPoint presentation and a glass of wine or a coffee. Learn about the artist and their work, their ideas and techniques, and the way the exhibition is curated. Plenty of time for questions and conversation. Waveney and Blyth Arts members get a £5 discount on the talks.

All of the workshops and talks are based in a cosy studio in a Cherry Orchard in Raveningham, South Norfolk (12 miles from Norwich, 9 miles from Beccles).

Come and sing musicals!

A splendid opportunity to join other singers in a fun day exploring songs from well-known musicals! The day will be led by the charismatic vocal specialist and choir trainer Vetta Wise. Terry Cunnane will be our accompanist. St. Mark’s Church Centre is ideally placed with ample car parking and space for all to sing in comfort and to partake of refreshments. Do reserve your place soon – and do bring your youngsters, for whom this will be a good way to introduce them to the enjoyment of singing.

After the sudden death of their father, two sisters are faced with the trauma of loss, grief and rivalry during the build up to his funeral. 

Q & A after the show with writer/director, actors and Kevin Vaughan, Chief Executive Officer of the Pear Tree Fund. 

We are a brand new company for Suffolk writers and actors, with a vision to write, perform and promote new plays with a bold, risky, unsettling edge. 

Daddy’s Girl is our premiere production which dives into the trauma of suicide, loss, the complex, competitive relationships between siblings and the lasting effects of childhood trauma. Among the distressing build up to the funeral, there are unsettling, humorous flashes in this dark tragedy. Suitable for ages 16+ with scenes some may find upsetting.

The Nutcracker.

The cast and crew for this year’s Christmas production at the popular Seagull Theatre in Pakefield are putting their final touches to this year’s festive offering. The Nutcracker, a festive mix of dancing, song and magic based on the traditional story of Clara and the Sugar Plumb fairy having adventures in Toyland, has been specially created for the theatre.

The Seagull recently had a sell-out success with its community production of the Addams Family Musical in October, and like that show, the Nutcracker features a community cast drawn from local talent, which has been led and directed by industry professionals. The show, which features many children from Lowestoft, has been in rehearsal since September and everyone is now getting very excited to show off the fruits of their efforts.

Seekers and Dreamers at The Seagull Theatre, Lowestoft on Monday 5 December 7.30pm.

Come and join us for a celebration of Christmas in words and carols (both old and new). Every year the community of the Seagull comes together in December to celebrate the festive season with a night of words and music. Members of our community play the instruments whilst others give readings and the audience join in singing of carols, some familiar and some less well known.

The event includes some festive refreshments and is totally free to attend. We ask that people book in advance which makes it easier for us to plan, but everyone is welcome to come along and join in.
