Chesil Theatre Winchester’s New Year production will be Henrik Ibsen’s classic tragedy Ghosts and open auditions are being held on 13th and 14th October 2019. The play is a scathing commentary on 19th century morals and offers challenging roles for two women and three men.
 
At the centre of the narrative is Helene Alving, a widow, wanting to escape the ghosts of her earlier life but as the drama unfolds she learns that present consequences are brought about by past actions. This award-winning adaptation is by former National Theatre Director Richard Eyre.
 
Director Peter Andrews comments:
“This play shocked 19th-century audiences because of its comment on religion, incest, and inherited disease but this contemporary production gives it enormous freshness and power”.
 
An informal reading is being held at the theatre on 11th October at 7.45pm when newcomers are particularly welcome. Ghosts runs from 25th January to 1st February 2020 and tickets are now available from www.chesiltheatre.org.uk
