CHICHESTERFESTIVALTHEATRE
Chichester Festival Theatre is one of the UK’s flagship theatres with an international reputation for producing work of the highest quality, ranging from large-scale musicals to distinguished dramas.
Festival 2014 is a landmark season for Chichester. It marks the reopening of the newly refurbished Chichester Festival Theatre following a major capital project, RENEW, to restore and upgrade its Grade 2* listed building. Chichester Festival Theatre can now proudly match its world-class artistic reputation with world-class spaces. The Festival Theatre reopened in July with a major production of Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus directed by Jonathan Church with Rupert Everett as Salieri. The season also includes two award-winning Broadway musicals (Guys and Dolls, Gypsy), three world premieres which reveal hidden stories behind historical events (Pressure, Pitcairn, Taken at Midnight) and compelling drama (Stevie, Frankie & Johnny in the Clair de Lune, Miss Julie, Black Comedy, An Ideal Husband).
During 2014, Chichester Festival Theatre productions will continue to be seen by the widest possible audience beyond West Sussex. Singin’ in the Rain continues its UK tour until October 2014 and Barnum begins a UK tour in the autumn. The Pajama Game is at the Shaftesbury Theatre in the West End for a limited season and Another Country is on tour following a run at Trafalgar Studios. The Last Confession, directed by Jonathan Church, tours to Canada, America and Australia. Private Lives was recently broadcast at cinemas throughout the UK.
In 2013, the theatre’s West End transfers included The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, Singin’ in the Rain, Private Lives, Kiss Me, Kate and the Oliver Award-winning production Goodnight Mister Tom. The highly acclaimed production of King Lear with Frank Langella completed a limited New York run in February 2014.
