NEWS RELEASE
2nd November 2020

Just days before the planned performance, Chesil Theatre Winchester, in the light of the latest government announcement, has had to reschedule broadcasting of Two by Jim Cartwright to a later date,

This production will be the first in a live streaming project Chesil Theatre@Home where a show is brought direct from the theatre to the audience at home exactly as it is happening. Chairman David Small said: “Chesil Theatre has thrived on live performance and it’s our intention, all things permitting, to come back as soon as possible once the current lockdown ends. 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. Earlier in the year over 400 scripts were entered in the competition for 10-minute plays on this year’s theme of The Road Not Taken.  The plays are scheduled to be performed in Spring 2021.

Editor’s Notes

About Chesil Theatre
​
Chesil Theatre (Winchester Dramatic Society) is based in the heart of Winchester, presenting six main productions a year, ranging from comedy to classics. Chesil Theatre also runs drama workshops and readings, plus two lively youth theatre groups as well as offering stagecraft and technical training. The company has been performing for over 150 years.

Since 1966 Chesil Theatre has been the Society’s permanent home - a former 12th century church in Chesil Street, Winchester. This medieval building provides an intimate 75-seat studio-style theatre and versatile performance space.
