2 Running with wolves

A thrilling piece of theatre comes to Thetford Forest Park this weekend – with the audience running, or walking, alongside the action.

Angela Carter's mysterious modern classic The Company of Wolves has been turned into a promenade production.

In a village on the edge of the mountains, a young girl puts on her red shoes and cloak, and heads into the forest alone, watched by unseen eyes. As the shadows lengthen, she begins to run and the hunt begins. The action takes place across two to three miles of forest paths for walkers, and four to five miles for runners, with different route options for audience members to choose during the play. Bring a torch – and do not stray from the path because wolves lurk all around…

Performances continue today and tomorrow, September 22-23, 7-10pm. Free entry to High Lodge, Thetford Forest.

Tickets £18, or £15 for children, from https://boxoffice.forestry.gov.uk

3 Lighting up King's Lynn

Waves of colour and light break over the ruins of an ancient monastery and the stone tower slowly fills with shimmering water. A street away, cloaked skeletons and a sea monster scale the Minster turrets and vast bright clocks whirl through starry skies. On the quayside mariners set sail for uncharted lands and in the market square a bank is built, decorated and decays, over and over as dusk deepens. The free Lynn Lumiere sees mesmerising pictures and patterns projected on to some of the town's most beautiful buildings, every evening from dusk.

4 Technicolor!

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat comes to The Marina Theatre in Lowestoft from September 26-30.

Bill Kenwright's sparkling touring production has been seen by 15 million theatre goers – and the record-breaking tour is in Lowestoft with Joe McElderry as Joseph.
