what's on

​Two 
by Jim Cartwright         
​directed by Tony Rogers
​5th December at 7:45pm (subject to Covid-19 guidelines)

ChesilTheatre@Home presents a live streamed performance of Two 
​
Important information following the Government announcement on October 31st.

In the light of the Government announcement we had to reschedule the original live streaming date for the performance of TWO by Jim Cartwright. It is our intention, all things permitting, to stream the performance as soon as possible and we have pencilled in Saturday, 5 December at 7.45 pm as the new date. This is taking note of the Government’s intention that the new lockdown will end on 3 December. The box office remains open for you to get tickets for the new date. In the meantime, you can click on the image of the program to download and read it ahead of the performance.

Our theatre is one that has thrived on live performance and we intend that, as soon as possible, we will have a programme of plays to put before you. These will, we hope, be in front of a live audience, but the experience we gain from TWO will enable us to continue with live streaming if that is necessary.

We realise that some of you may not be able to join the event on the new date, and if you require your booking to be refunded, please contact us via tickets@chesiltheatre.org.uk

looking forward

​Sadly three of our planned 2020 productions had to be postponed, but they have certainly not been forgotten! Dracula and A Fine Bright Day Today will be found future performance slots. 

In the expectation that our regular performances will resume at some point we are pleased to announce that our open-air production of A Midsummer Night's Dream has be rescheduled for the summer of 2021.

We are also regularly reviewing what can be done within the current government guidelines. As you will be aware these change from time to time and we are optimistic that we will be able to run performances in some form in the near future.
