Peruse at your leisure or come into the box office Tuesdays or Thursdays to secure your seats, and keep an eye out for further additions to the programme.

Looking ahead this month, we're excited to host Slaughter in Southwold this coming weekend in collaboration with Southwold Library. Later in the month we are excited to welcome back Eastern Angles with a new comedy/drama play by James McDermott, set in Lowestoft.
