Last chance to see Roger Ackling: Sunlight @norwichcastle the exhibition closes this weekend.
This exhibition explores the impact and influence that photography has had on shaping – and in some cases distorting - the narrative of major global events. Featuring more than 100 works, The Camera Never Lies charts a global century of documentation and manipulation.
Featuring some of the most iconic news photographs in the world, the first part of the exhibition explores how single photographs have come to represent and define events through their repeated use in print journalism. The second part examines how modern practitioners are using research to inform their imagery, and how they work with much more agency than in the previous century - having more control than the picture editors at newspapers.
🗓Until 20 October
The Sainsbury Centre operates Pay What You Want ticketing. The museum also has a fascinating permanent collection, two cafes, a shop and an outdoor sculpture park.

Premiering this month at Norwich Theatre Playhouse, The Highwayman is a tale of love, larceny, and 17th-century debauchery.
Based on the classic poem by Alfred Noyes, Kitty Morgan's brand new musical will take audiences on a full-throttle musical gallop through the grimy underbelly of 1600s England, where love is as dangerous as a back-alley brawl. With a live band reimagining tavern tunes and folk ballads in contemporary arrangements, this is one not to be missed.
After opening in Norwich, The Highwayman will also be touring to Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds.

Since 2005, Quentin Blake’s drawings for hospitals and healthcare settings have become a significant part of his work. Because of their clinical function, many of the spaces are not easily accessible to visitors, so relatively few people may get the chance to see them.
Now, you can see some of this work at Moyse's Hall Museum, Bury St Edmunds. Discover swimming babies, helpful dragons, treetop adventures, and poignant landscapes, all in Blake's instantly recognisable style.
🗓 Until 6 October 2024

Emma Bovary is bored. She’s bored with her boring doctor husband, bored with her boring provincial village and bored with her role as a dutiful wife in (boring) nineteenth-century France.
This weekend head to the woods in Suffolk for this wonderfully irreverent adaptation of Flaubert's novel from Ha Hum Ah and The Minack Theatre.
