The Chichester Festival Theater is a theater building in Chichester , West Sussex , England that opened in 1962 . It is one of Great Britain's flagship theaters in terms of quality and innovation and has an international reputation.

The festival season usually lasts from April to September and includes productions of both classical and modern plays, as well as musicals. Also designed the theater during this period Promenade performances under the open sky and various festival events such as cabaret - and stand-up - Comedy -Abende. Other events are intended to make the theater itself more accessible to society, including family days, theater tours, panel discussions and more. Over the past few years, between eight and twelve pieces from different ensembles, authors and genres have been presented per season.

A successful season at the Chichester Festival Theater means an early West-End transfer for most of the plays performed there. There, the productions regularly receive the highest national theater awards: the last time in March 2019 were eight Olivier nominations for productions of the CFT.

The theater is registered in the UK as a non-profit organization and is chaired by Sir William Castell. The building is listed as a Grade II * Building cultural monument ( particularly significant buildings of general interest ).

history

The building was designed by Philip Powell and Hidalgo Moya and opened in 1962 by founder Leslie Evershed-Martin. The smaller Minerva Theater, which is often used for chamber plays, was built near the main stage in 1989 and is officially part of the Festival Theater. At the end of the 2019 season, a third and even more intimate hall will be added with the “mirror tent”, a mixture of mirror cabinet and pub atmosphere. In addition to a few theatrical performances, cabaret, comedy and quiz evenings will take place here.

The first artistic director of the theater from 1962 was Sir Laurence Olivier , who founded the first National Theater Ensemble there. Successful productions by the ensemble always moved on to London on their own stage in the Old Vic after the annual theater festival in Chichester ended . The opening productions from 1962 were The Chances by John Fletcher ( UA 1638) from July 3, The Broken Heart (1633) by John Ford from July 9 and Uncle Vanya (1896) by Anton Chekhov from July 16. Cast that year included Lewis Casson , Fay Compton , Joan Greenwood , Rosemary Harris , Kathleen Harrison , Keith Michell , André Morell , John Neville , Laurence Olivier, Joan Plowright , Michael Redgrave , Sybil Thorndike, and Peter Woodthorpe .

The most frequently performed author up to and including the 2019 season was William Shakespeare (27 productions of 17 different dramas in 25 different seasons), followed by George Bernard Shaw (15; 12; 15), Anton Pawlowitsch Chekhov (14; 9; 13) and Noël Coward (11; 10; 11). The piece mentioned most frequently was Chekhov's Uncle Vanya ( Uncle Vanya , 4 productions), followed by Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra ( Antony and Cleopatra ) and Macbeth , Chekhov's The Seagull ( The Seagull ) and The Cherry Orchard ( The Cherry Orchard ), Shaw's Heartbreak House as well as Ronald Harwood's Taking Sides (3 productions each).
