Norfolk’s Sheringham Little Theatre is set to host a new playwriting competition sponsored by actor Suranne Jones and TeamAkers Productions, the production company she runs with her husband. The competition aims to raise money for the theatre which expects to experience a financial shortfall of £25,000 as a result of changes to employers' National Insurance contributions in the new Budget.
The Norfolk-wide competition is backed by Jones, who was announced as the theatre’s president in February following a collective 50 years of presidency from local philanthropists Lord and Lady Walpole. Jones, who recently starred in BBC dramas Dr Foster and Vigil, intends to raise funds for the theatre through ticket sales for performances of the winning entries, with the Jones giving an on-stage critique afterwards.
