THE NORFOLK ACTORS COMPANY presents the festival’s central production for 2024 ~ The Philadelphia Story…
They are bringing some wonderful characters to life. We chatted to Becks Clayton who plays young Dinah (sister of Tracy) and she told us she has 4 costume changes and the bridesmaid dress is a sight to be seen! It has been amazing seeing Becks light up centre stage, quite the step up from her role last year, playing a quiet house maid responsible for set changes! She, along with Ruby Bardwell-Dix and Lucy Gleeson have lept forward in their roles too, are the perfect example of what the Norfolk Actors Company is all about and we couldn’t be prouder or more excited for them.

🎭✨ As always, The Norfolk Actors Company is produced by the PBSK Partnership. We’re excited to share our Central Productions are now officially rebranded as The Norfolk Actors Company for The Autumn Festival of Norfolk.
Since our journey began in 2010, we’ve been committed to bringing those hidden gem plays to life, and we can’t wait to continue that tradition! Who remembers the buzz from Melvyn Bragg’s King Lear In New York back in 2016? That was a highlight! This autumn, prepare to be whisked away to the glitzy 1930s high society of Philadelphia.
Our ethos remains strong: we cherish our returning core group of actors while also embracing new talent each year. Whether you’re a familiar face or a newcomer eager to join us, there’s a place for you in our company.
Don’t forget, our Artistic Director, Stash Kirkbride, will be hosting Open Door Workshops later this year. It’s a fantastic chance to learn more and see how you can get involved next year.
This year’s event is supported by @mortgagesforactors @norwich_school @norwich_cathedral @norwichtheatre @citycollegenorwich @markoffthewalloutdoor @boojabooja Thanks to everyone who makes this special project possible ✨

Peter Wilson MBE
(12 January 1951 - 4 September 2023)
Peter was a big part of this Festival, he supported and guided through his role of founding patron and believed in what Stash was striving to achieve. His contribution gave it a strong foundation, he helped to made sure the offer was sustainable and authentic.
It is our great honour to present a tribute to him tonight. It promises to be a memorable and moving event - our opening night - as we embark on continuing the good work with a programme that’s rooted in engagement and the celebration of people and places across Norfolk.
