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
