John Osborne x NSF 👀

If you know TOAST, then you know we LOVE with all our hearts. John’s hilarious, he’s a top bloke and also, Norwich Science Festival is SICK. So yes, we’re endorsing their event, not least because we’ll be there as punters!

A Fear of Whistling with John Osborne
Tue 17 Feb, 7pm, National Centre for Writing
Tickets £12, booking essential via the NSF website. We’ve also linked it in our bio because we’re good boys and girls and

[Alt Text] John Osborne stands in profile on stage at Norwich Theatre Playhouse, reading from a small, colourful book beside a tall microphone stand. He’s wearing a dark blazer, grey jeans and dark lace-up shoes, lit by a warm spotlight against a black background, with fairy lights lining the edge of the stage, a coiled mic cable on the floor and the audience softly lit and just visible in shadow.

TOAST Week at the Playhouse ☕🍞

Norwich Theatre is giving us all a very decent excuse to slow down and actually see the people we keep saying we’ll see. Until 25th January, pop into the Norwich Theatre Playhouse bar for tea or filter coffee with toast for £3.50.

It kicked off on Brew Monday (the Samaritans-led antidote to “Blue Monday”) which feels like a fairly perfect prompt to do something small, warm, and quietly good for your brain. Bring a mate, bring your mum, bring the friend you only ever voice note at 1.5x speed. Sit. Chat. Reset.

And to round off the week, the offer runs all day on Sunday 25 January, which means if you’re coming to TOAST Poetry that evening, you can enjoy a double helping of TOAST with toast. A poetic full circle, frankly.

📅 19–25 January
📍 Norwich Theatre Playhouse bar
☕ Tea or filter coffee + toast = £3.50
🍞 Offer runs all day on Sunday 25 January
