SUMMARY:Chichester Theatre Visit - Magic
DESCRIPTION:Harry Houdini is the greatest illusionist the world has ever known. Arthur Conan Doyle is the creator of literature’s most brilliant detective\, Sherlock Holmes. \nTheir mutual admiration blossoms into a profound friendship\, even as they discover a shared obsession with spiritualism. Conan Doyle believes fervently in the psychic world and the promise of reunion with his dead son; Houdini is determined to demonstrate it’s a cruel fraud. Which of these sparring partners will be proved right: the genius writer of fiction or the infallible magician? \nBased on extraordinary historical events\, Magic asks what we’re prepared to believe\, and why. \nFor more information contact Kay Corke via Contact on this website

SUMMARY:Chichester Theatre Visit - Atonement
DESCRIPTION:On an English country estate during the blazing summer of 1935\, 13 year-old Briony Tallis witnesses a passionate scene between her elder sister Cecilia and the son of their housekeeper\, Robbie. In a disastrous desire for drama but only a dim understanding of its impact\, Briony makes an accusation which will fatally alter Cecilia and Robbie’s lives and many others too – for which she will spend the rest of her life trying to atone. \nStretching from the 1930s through the Second World War to the present day\, Ian McEwan’s dazzling masterpiece was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and voted by Time Magazine and the Guardian as one of the 100 greatest novels of the past century. \nThis world premiere stage adaptation is by Christopher Hampton\, whose many plays and adaptations also include The Philanthropist and Les Liaisons Dangereuses\, which won the Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best Play. \nFor more information contact Kay Corke via Contact on this website

SUMMARY:Chichester Theatre Visit - 45 Years
DESCRIPTION:Buried for decades\, the body of a young woman is found in the melting ice. A thousand miles and 45 years away… a crack forms in the crystal of a marriage. \nIt’s the week leading up to Kate and Geoff’s wedding anniversary and preparations for the party are in full swing. As they choose the music for their first dance\, a letter from Switzerland quietly shatters their world. \nIs the past another country? Or are the secrets in the attic of our memory destined to return? \nAdapted from Andrew Haigh’s critically acclaimed 2015 film\, 45 Years is an achingly tense\, intimate and moving dance to the music of time. \nHannah Patterson’s plays include Eden (Hampstead Theatre) and Playing With Grown Ups (Theatre503)\, nominated for an OffWestEnd Award and the Susan Smith Blackburn Award\, which transferred to 59E59 in New York. \nDirector Prasanna Puwanarajah makes his CFT debut; his recent work includes Twelfth Night at the RSC\, for which he won the 2025 UK Theatre Award for Best Director. \nGeraldine James comes to Chichester for the first time in her distinguished career to play Kate. Her innumerable TV credits include Back to Life\, Silo\, This Town\, Dope Girls and The Jewel in the Crown; recent stage roles include Creditors (Orange Tree) and As You Like It (RSC). \nFor more details contact Kay Corke via Contact on this website

SUMMARY:Chichester Theatre Visit - My Fair Lady
DESCRIPTION:Lerner & Loewe’s glorious\, evergreen musical My Fair Lady – with an overflowing bouquet of ravishing songs including The Rain in Spain\, I Could Have Danced All Night\, With a Little Bit of Luck and Wouldn’t It be Loverly – has never before been produced at Chichester. With its sparkling dialogue\, brilliant lyrics\, witty story and gorgeous costumes\, this 20th century masterpiece has been described as the perfect musical. \nCockney Eliza Doolittle scrapes a living selling flowers on the streets of London. Her dream of being a lady in a florist’s shop is out of reach unless she can speak ‘proper English’. So when she encounters Henry Higgins\, a professor of phonetics\, she seizes the chance to transform her life. \nHiggins blithely takes on a bet to turn the woman he dismisses as a “squashed cabbage leaf” into a high society paragon. But his impulsive wager becomes a journey of discovery for both him and Eliza. \nLerner & Loewe’s multi award-winning musical broke Broadway records when it opened in 1956 and was adapted into the 1964 Oscar-winning film. This brand-new production is directed by Rachel Kavanaugh (The Music Man\, Shadowlands\, Half a Sixpence) with set and costumes by Peter McKintosh (Top Hat\, South Pacific\, Shadowlands) and choreography by Stephen Mear (Gypsy\, Mack & Mabel\, Kiss Me Kate). \nFor more details contact Kay Corke via Contact on this website

SUMMARY:Chichester Theatre Visit - A Midsummer Night's Dream
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare’s magical comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream. \nArtistic Director Justin Audibert follows Hamlet and his hugely popular Festival Theatre production of Redlands\, turning from the rock ‘n’ roll of the 1960s to the Sussex raves of the 1990s for this riotously entertaining new production\, co-directed with CFT’s Associate Director Hannah Joss (Choir). \nKicking back against the rules imposed by their stuffy elders\, four spirited young lovers take off to a forest thronged with mischievous creatures who march to a different beat. \nBut the king and queen of the fairies are at loggerheads\, and psychedelic potions create startling transformations. For a bunch of budding actors\, staging a play proves more of a headache than they bargained for. As traditional values go head to head with hedonism and freedom\, amidst a whirl of conflicting desires\, how will this madcap night of revels end? \nComedian and satirist Munya Chawawa makes his theatrical debut as Bottom. \nJemima Rooper (The Norman Conquests CFT\, One Man Two Guvnors\, Geek Girl) plays Titania. \nFor more details contact Kay Corke via Contact on this website
