Norwich Puppet Theatre, Medieval puppet theatre in Norwich, England.
The Norwich Puppet Theatre occupies a converted medieval church building with a 165-seat auditorium, a 50-seat studio, and exhibition spaces.
The theatre building dates from 1450 as St James the Less Church, later transforming into a performing arts venue in 1980 under Joan and Ray Da Silva.
The theatre presents international puppet performances throughout the year, incorporating rod puppets, glove puppets, shadow techniques, and object manipulation.
