• The Cemetery Club
  By Ivan Menchell
  Thursday 6 - Saturday 8 November at 7.30pm
  Presented by The Sheringham Players
  Three Jewish women meet once a month for tea before visiting their husband's graves. Ida is sweet tempered and ready to begin a new life, Lucille is a feisty woman who wants to have fun and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam, a butcher, enters the scene. He meets the women at the cemetery whilst visiting his wife's grave. Doris and Lucille squash the budding romance between Sam and Ida. They become guilt stricken however when this nearly breaks Ida's heart.This play is a touching study of life after bereavement and explores the complexities of friendship in difficult times with humour and dignity.
  Tickets £8.00 (first night £7.50)
• Dracula's Guest
  Saturday 15 November at 7.30pm
  Presented by Rumpus Theatre Company
  A magnificent slice of Gothic horror based on Bram Stoker's wickedest creation A young woman is invited to a party - at a house she's never visited ... and with a host she's never met! From the company that brought you Bram Stoker's The Judge's House! and hot on the heels of The Ripper Files! in Autumn 2007, Dracula's Guest! is the latest spine-tingler in a long line of Rumpus chillers. Featuring the most famous of all Gothic horror creations, Dracula's Guest! offers further proof that "Rumpus know better than many how to please an audience" (Times) HE'S AWAKE ... AND HE'S HUNGRY ... DON'T MISS THE PARTY!

• The Magic Lozenge
  Friday 28 - Saturday 29 November at 7.30pm
  Presented by The Sheringham Savoyards
  Sheringham hosts a world premiere! The Magic Lozenge is a light-hearted story of dark secrets and private passions, to the accompaniment of evocative new music infused with tantalizing echoes of Gilbert and Sullivan favourites. Mocking modern society's craze for a quick fix, this musical play, written by two members of The Sheringham Savoyards, is about a group of friends who hope for life-changing effects from a so-called magic lozenge. However the magic is found only in the power of belief, and the knock-on effects of the 'little orange sweetie' change the lives of some of these friends for ever.
  Tickets £8.00
• A Kipper Country Christmas
  Sunday 7 December 7.30pm
  Presented by Sid Kipper
  For your delight Sid Kipper, icon and iconoclast, pulls out the plums of his Yuletide repertoire, sticks bits of holly on them, drenches them in brandy and sets them ablaze. By their light he looks back at rural winters when snowflakes glistened, frosty winds made moan, and it really was deep and crisp and even. "It was cold, but fair. Well, even the rich couldn't light a fire with a little boy up their chimney, could they?" Present times are not ignored and the show has tips for those new to rural life, culled from Sid's recent Channel 4 podcast series 'The Kipper Country Code'. This is sprinkled over seasonal songs, stories, rhymes and reason, with the odd musical instrument and - this being Christmas - nuts. "Nuts are very important at Christmas - along with stockings, crackers, breast, legs and stuffing. Without them mother wouldn't know what to talk about." Along the way Carol is sung, Belle's told, and Sherry is trifled with. There's turkey talked, pies minced, and sausages rolled. In short, Yule is comprehensively logged in a thoroughly entertaining fashion
  Tickets £9.00

Pantomime

• Peter Pan
  Saturday 6th December to Saturday 3rd January
  It's pantomime time again at the Little Theatre and this year promises to be the best ever. After last year's 'sell out' production of Snow White, PDM Entertainments are presenting Peter Pan, the biggest, most spectacular pantomime there is. Join us for a fabulous 'Flight' with Peter Pan to 'Never Neverland' - meet Pirates, Lost Boys, Mermaids and Indians, then sit scared as you meet the evil 'Captain Hook'. Come with us on a swashbuckling adventure. A show with something for everyone: music, dancing, comedy and slapstick. A truly 'traditional' pantomime - an ideal treat for all the family. Get into the festive spirit with the 'Little Boy who never grew up'. Peter Pan is sure to be a sell out, so book early……..
