A vibrant mix of new shows has been announced for 2022 at Norwich Theatre Royal.

Norfolk's biggest theatre officially reopened earlier this month after being closed for more than a year due to the pandemic.

It has come back stronger than ever, with major productions and top comedians to look forward to.
