Highlights

Emma

Tue 4 – Sat 8 Nov

Chichester Festival Theatre

Jane Austen’s 250th anniversary is celebrated in fitting style with a new stage adaptation of her comedy of manners, Emma. The beautiful, high-spirited Emma Woodhouse is determined that she will never marry but loves to meddle in her friends’ and neighbours’ relationships. But as the romantic web she weaves becomes ever more entangled, will Emma herself get swept up in true love’s wake...?

This new production is adapted by Ryan Craig; Stephen Unwin directs. The cast includes India Shaw-Smith as Emma, alongside Oscar Batterham, William Chubb, Jade Kennedy, Peter Losasso, Rose Quentin, Daniel Rainford, Ed Sayer and Maiya Louise Thapar.

The Seagull

Mon 11 – Sat 15 Nov  

Chichester Festival Theatre

Chekhov’s much-loved masterpiece soars anew in a darkly comic reimagining by Mike Poulton, directed by James Brining, with beloved stage and screen star Caroline Quentin leading a stellar ensemble. The Seagull blends sharp-edged comedy and emotionally rich drama into a timeless story of vanity, creative hunger, and the cost of dreams.

A once-celebrated actress, Arkadina (Quentin) dominates every room she enters, leaving little chance for anyone else to shine. Her son, the tormented young playwright Konstantin, yearns to escape her shadow, revolutionise theatre, and win the heart of Nina, a luminous young woman with dreams of the stage. But when Nina’s gaze turns instead to Arkadina’s lover, the celebrated writer Trigorin, egos and passions collide with devastating consequences.

Dear England                

Thu 20 – Sat 29 Nov

Chichester Festival Theatre

The National Theatre’s Olivier Award-winning smash hit comes to Chichester in a highly anticipated tour.

It’s time to change the game. The country that gave the world football has since delivered a painful pattern of loss. The England men’s team has the worst track record for penalties in the world, and manager Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open his mind and face up to the years of hurt to take team and country back to the promised land.

From multi award-winning writer James Graham (Sherwood, BBC; Quiz, This House, CFT) and director Rupert Goold (Patriots, Cold War), this joyous, five-star ‘new stage epic’ (The Telegraph) tells the uplifting, at times heartbreaking, and ultimately inspiring story of Gareth Southgate’s revolutionary tenure as England manager, in a ‘gripping and moving’ (Sunday Times) examination of nation and game.

David Sturzaker (Doctors, BBC) plays former England manager Gareth Southgate, with Samantha Womack (Eastenders, BBC; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) as team psychologist Pippa Grange.

Stiles and Drewe’s The Three Little Pigs

Sat 6 – Sun 28 Dec

Minerva Theatre

From the award-winning Stiles and Drewe (The Billy Goats Gruff, Honk!, Half a Sixpence) comes The Three Little Pigs – a "very curly musical tail" that is perfect for the whole family.

This charming and witty adventure is full of catchy songs and clever rhymes which will have you squealing with glee as three superstar piglets set about defeating the Big Bad Wolf.

Devoted Mother Pig is raising her three little pigs – sporty Bar, nature-loving Bee and bookworm Q – after Father Pig was gobbled by the Big Bad Wolf. But when their home starts looking like a really messy pigsty, Mother encourages her fast-growing youngsters to make their own way in the big wide world.
 
Bar, Bee and Q set about building their own houses from straw, sticks and bricks. But can they get the better of the huffing, puffing, always hungry (and a bit misunderstood) Big Bad Wolf?  

A co-production with the Unicorn Theatre, directed by Jade Lewis, this hugely entertaining adaptation of the classic tale is a perfect musical Christmas treat for young families. Performed by arrangement with Music Theatre International. For ages 3 – 7. There will be a Relaxed Performance on Fri 28 Dec.

A Boy Called Christmas

Mon 15 – Wed 31 Dec

Chichester Festival Theatre

An enthralling, charming and magical tale that tells the true story of Father Christmas. For 11-year-old Nikolas, whose nickname is Christmas because he was born on 25 December, life isn’t easy. With only a doll made out of a turnip to keep him company, he believes in happiness but isn’t happy very often. Until the day he sets out – with his pet mouse Miika and a reindeer called Blitzen – on an extraordinary quest to follow his father and to find Elfhelm, the fabled village of the elves.

Join Nikolas on this life-changing adventure, full of fantastic characters and beautiful moments, and watch how one little boy comes to be the very symbol of Christmas itself. Full to bursting with festive wonder, this story from the award-winning writer Matt Haig – adapted for the stage by Philip Wilson (Cinderella, Grimm Tales), with original live music and songs by Tom Brady (Pinocchio, The Butterfly Lion) – will warm the hearts of audiences young and old.  

In their 40^th anniversary year, Chichester Festival Youth Theatre bring their magical gifts for storytelling to another captivating Christmas production, directed by Dale Rooks (The Wind in the Willows, Hey! Christmas Tree).
