We have pencilled in Saturday 5th December. We realise this date might not be convenient for everyone who has already booked and enquiries for refunds can be made to tickets@chesiltheatre.org.uk. ”
In the meantime, the tension mounts as members of the judging panel for TakeTen, Chesil Theatre’s New Writing Festival, are about to reach their final decisions on the winning ten plays.
