Booming Voices produced by Eastern Angles Theatre Company aims to capture the magic of the Broads and explore its possible future. From a range of interviews with people living on this iconic landscape, the play fuses real voices, music and science to tell a new, unheard story of the Broads.
In the height of the pandemic, Jen, a young student, is shielding in an isolated cottage on the edge of a watery haven, housesitting for a Professor in the US who is investigating the impact of climate change. Together they explore the iconic wildlife and nature of the Broads, showing us just how vulnerable this seemingly timeless landscape is.
With the songs of acclaimed folk musician Jimmy Alridge, and insights from figures who helped discover the true nature of this wetland paradise (comparable to Ibiza, sang David Bowie), Booming Voices promises to be an evening that both prepares us for the future and gives us hope.

Renowned as one of the UK’s leading trumpet players and composers, Paul Higgs has performed with Johnny Dankworth, Lulu, Tony Hatch, John Williams, Peggy Lee and Nancy Wilson. He is also a former Musical Director at both the RSC and the National Theatre.
Miles Davis, the most revered jazz trumpeter of all time, was at the forefront of several major innovations in jazz from the mid ’40s to the early ’90s – bebop, cool, hard bop, modal, jazz funk and jazz fusion. Paul is renowned for his magical sound and exceptional skill. His great sensitivity, high energy and his own skill as a composer make him a superb proponent of Miles Davis’s music.
Paul plays well-known favourites from these styles as well as some less familiar gems.

Irrepressible jazz star Giacomo Smith is blazing a trail for one of the golden eras of jazz with his fabulous all-star band and their eponymous London bar. The Hot Five is a celebration of the music of Bix Beiderbeck, Cole Porter, Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton. This brand new acoustic quintet invokes the classic line-up and sounds of Chicago Jazz in the 1920’s and 30’s. Much more than a faithful homage this show will breathe new life into the sound and stylistic imprints the greatest jazz composers and bandleaders of all time gave us.

The Lark Ascending, by Ralph Vaughan Williams, is today one of the best-loved pieces of classical music in the UK. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of the composer, Suffolk Philharmonic Orchestra bring this glorious music within reach of everyone in Suffolk.
The Lark’s Flight over Suffolk tells the story of The Lark Ascending and of Ralph Vaughan Williams’s live, his triumphs and his disappointments, in music and words. The Lark Ascending features along with his Oboe Concerto and other captivating music by this outstanding and influential British composer.
As well as Ralph Vaughan Williams himself (played by an actor), there will be a small orchestra of 14 musicians, and outstanding soloists.
The Lark’s Flight is conceived and directed by conductor Leslie Olive.

Angelos Epithemiou first surfaced as the oddball scorer in Shooting Stars and has since worked with the biggest names in UK comedy, including Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon and Tracey Ullman His numerous TV credits (Not Going Out, Friday Night Dinner, Coupling, House of Fools, My Family, The Armstrong and Miller Show, The Office and Yonderland) have made him one of the most recognizable comic actors on British TV. But it is his live shows with his high-octane off-the-wall humour, seemingly bottomless props bag and quick-witted interplay that have made him a legend on the stand-up scene.
Support comes from one of the off the success stories on the UK comedy circuit John Mann, whose charm and warmth belie the fact that his material covers the improbable (winter sports for pensioners) to the downright illegal (tips for the successful shoplifter).
Hosted once again by Suffolk’s own Louie Green and featuring slots for some rising comedy stars, this is another varied and packed evening of the best in live comedy.

Carpenters Gold is heading our way–it’s Yesterday Once More.
Immerse yourself in the unforgettable sound of the great sibling duo Richard and Karen Carpenter. From Close to You to Top of the World, all their chart-topping hits feature including We’ve Only Just Begun, Goodbye to Love, Please Mr Postman, For All We Know and Only Yesterday.
West End star Vikki Holland-Bowyer perfectly emulates Karen’s gorgeously rich vocals – and even gets behind the drums! The Carpenters’ on-stage light-hearted humour and chemistry is captured perfectly as Greg Stevenson effortlessly recreates Richard’s sublime piano playing and vocal harmonies, supported by the original sumptuous arrangements with a band oozing Seventies glitz. An evening packed with nostalgia and some of the most memorable songs of a golden age of pop, a startlingly faithful throwback to The Carpenters’ heyday.

Specially adapted to a remote, East Anglian setting, this beautifully judged combination of comedy and quest centres on the lost manuscript of one of England’s most celebrated poets. Set in the long-deceased poet’s ancient house, a reclusive professor, an expert on the poets’ life, is descended on by his number one fan, a ruthless rival academic, and a random free spirit who breaks in just to get warm. The house, the poet’s reputation, and their lives are turned upside down – literally! – by unfolding secrets and a surprising final twist in this madcap comedy adventure.

Meet Rick and Jane, brought together, seemingly, by chance. Are they going to spend an afternoon contemplating possible mutual seduction, or, as layers of plot peel away, will the murky secrets of their pasts reveal something far darker? The relentless tension smacks of film noir with roles that could have starred Bogey and Bacall. But this is London, not Hollywood, and the jeopardy is real, with prey and predator, and us, not knowing which is which until the very last moment. Are they killing time, or is it time for a killing?
