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.

Founded by the pioneering American actor and director Sam Wanamaker, Shakespeare’s Globe is a unique international resource dedicated to the exploration of Shakespeare’s work and the theatre for which he wrote. From modest beginnings, Shakespeare’s Globe has become one of the most popular visitor destinations in the UK, at the heart of the regeneration of London’s Bankside. Shakespeare’s Globe is a UK registered charity and continues to operate without annual government funding.
Under the leadership of Artistic Director Dominic Dromgoole, the Globe Theatre has gained an international reputation for performance excellence, welcoming over one million visitors annually.
Pitcairn is one of four new plays to be staged in 2014, with Doctor Scroggy’s War by Howard Brenton, Holy Warriors by David Eldridge and Simon Armitage’s The Last Days of Troy.
Sam Wanamaker Playhouse This year saw the completion of the new indoor Jacobean theatre, which opened with The Duchess of Malfi and which will continue to stage Jacobean dramas, new plays, opera and candlelit concerts.
Globe to Globe The Hamlet tour opened at the Globe on 23 April 2014 – the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth. Over the course of the two-year project, the company will travel to hundreds of unique, atmospheric venues across seven continents by boat, sleeper train, jeep, tall ship, bus and airplane. As part of the Globe’s ongoing commitment to the international celebration of Shakespeare the Bankside theatre hosted All’s Well That Ends Well in Gujarati in May, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream in British Sign Language in June.
Globe Education Each year, more than 100,000 people of all ages and nationalities participate in Globe Education’s programme of public events, workshops and courses. Globe Education also runs an extensive programme in the Southwark community and creates national and international outreach projects for students and teachers.
Globe Exhibition & Tour Open all year round, the Globe Exhibition & Tour provides an opportunity for all ages, families and groups to learn more about Shakespeare, his London and the theatre for which he wrote. Live demonstrations explore stage-fighting, Elizabethan clothing, and printing on a traditional press.
