Maddermarket Theatre, Norwich: 28 July 2020
When first built this medieval hall was the trading centre of the wool industry for this area, hence its name, madder being the dye plant that produces soft reds.
Today it houses a Shakespearean style theatre. Incredible, I once saw the Maddermarket Players perform an adaptation of War & Peace here, complete with the battles!
So By the Book, another title achieved in Maria’s Antonia’s #2020picoftheweek
(The “Book” being the play’s script)

I must say it is a fine looking entrance, well worth a visit.

It’s some years since I’ve been there. I remember it as ‘cosy’ inside

I love how you incorporated the “book” prompt into this photo. Nicely done. 🙂
What an amazing-looking building. I’m assuming no shows right now? All the theatres in our area are closed for the “duration”.

Nah, I think it’s closed at the moment. I saw no notices.

I confess I don’t know how long it’s been a theatre, other than I remember seeing various productions when I was in my teens… so almost as long ago as Shakespeare 🙂

Yea. I’m not sure when the conversion, how old the theatre. I keep meaning to google it but… life can be hectic at times
