Chichester Festival 2011
Unveiled - a Terence Rattigan celebration, Sweeney Todd and three world premieres

Chichester Festival has unveiled its 2011 season running from May to November, and priority booking opened yesterday. Terence Rattigan's centenary is celebrated in style, including two famous and fine plays, The Deep Blue Sea and The Browning Version, and a first-ever showing of a script he wrote for television about Nijinsky and Diaghilev, now written into a new play by Nicholas Wright. Other world premieres are David Hare’s South Downs and a new version of Eduardo De Filippo's The Syndicate, starring Ian McKellen. Three musicals - She Loves Me, Singin’ in the Rain and Sweeney Todd - and two modern classics, Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and Caryl Churchill's Top Girls complete the line-up. Stars appearing include Adam Cooper, Penelope Keith, Imelda Staunton and Michael Ball.
