A play that premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer to critical acclaim is heading to Norwich.

Lynn Faces by multi-award-winning writer Laura Horton is coming to Norwich Theatre Stage Two from January 28 to February 1 2025.

Alan Partridge's long-suffering assistant Lynn Benfield inspires a punk band in the show.

Nearing 40, painfully shy and emerging from a toxic break-up, Leah forms a punk band inspired by Lynn and takes to the stage despite her lack of musical ability.

Lynn Faces is a funny, farcical and poignant new play, exploring the impact of abusive behaviour, the power of friendship and how silliness can be healing.

Laura Horton said: "I can't wait to bring Lynn Faces to Norwich, the home of Partridge."
