God of Carnage is a masterclass in social meltdown - a fast, furious, and gloriously uncomfortable night at the theatre. Directed by and starring Matt Grist, with Kieran Gough, Sadie Grist, and Tamsin Wheeler - the dream team behind some of Westacre Theatre’s most acclaimed productions (Private Lives, Betrayal, Five Lesbians and a Quiche, Alligators, Di & Viv & Rose). If you loved seeing this stellar line-up in Private Lives, you won’t want to miss what happens when the gloves come off. About the play When two sets of parents meet to discuss a playground incident between their children, civility is the first casualty. What begins as a polite exchange soon unravels into a razor-sharp comedy of manners (and bad manners), as wine flows, tempers flare, and chaos reigns.

What a wonderful place. Moved to King's Lynn in April and this is a fantastic little theatre with some cracking shows. The outdoor ones were particularly entertaining over the summer. A great range of plays. Some very entertaining adaptations of classics. Highly recommended!

Great little theatre with both indoor and covered outdoor performance areas. They do a range of performances throughout the year. Very well worth looking at their programme online and going along to a performance.

As far as theatres in Norfolk go, the Westacre Theatre is a bit of a gem. Almost hidden away amongst beautiful Norfolk countryside it is a surprise to find such a lovely, well designed space that offers top class productions as well as workshops for children and adults. Well worth checking out their current listings and making the journey to visit them for what will sure to be great night out!
