Two new shows have been announced for this May's Norfolk and Norwich Festival.

Both shows are part of the Inn Crowd which brings performance to pubs and they will take place at the The Birdcage in Norwich's Pottergate.

On Wednesday, May 23, Proteus will present Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know, a show which brings the historic literary figure of Lord Byron to life in all his excessive glory during a night of poetry and performance.

The following evening, on Thursday, May 24, Byron Vincent will then present a scratch version of his new show Instagramming the Apocalypse.

Both events start at 8pm and entry for each is £3.

The events are part of the festival's City of Literature Programme in association with Writers' Centre Norwich and The Inn Crowd.
