The Norwich Theatre Royal has announced some additions to its outdoor summer festival, Interlude in the Close.
New shows added to the line-up include multi-award winning Police Cops: Badass (Jul 29), hot off the back of total sell-out runs at Edinburgh Fringe Festival & Soho Theatre, and world class comedy with Rich Hall, Ed Gamble, Lou Sanders and Ellie Taylor, fresh from her debut Netflix stand-up special.

The programme will also support the National History Museum s Dippy on Tour, with its much-loved Diplodocus coming to Norwich Cathedral from July 13 to October 30.
On the day Dippy arrives, there will be a Circus Spectacular and an animal theme will run throughout Interlude in the Close.
The season will culminate with a week of circus performances from Norwich s own Lost in Translation Circus, alongside other international companies. There will also be a programme of activities
for school-age children and community groups.

Stephen Crocker, chief executive and creative director of Norwich Theatre, said: “Interlude was originally conceived as a hugely creative, boldly ambitious and proudly resilient response to bringing back live performance to Norwich in a safe way and that remains at the heart of Interlude in the Close.
