Brighton Year-Round 2025

‘The Voyage of the Carcass’ and ‘Bobby & Amy’

A double bill to stretch the imagination.


Birdsong

If you think on peace in these distracted times, love theatre, can absorb it at its most epic, then this will thrill and overwhelm you. A must-see.


Calamity Jane

See this for the onstage musicians and above all Carrie Hope Fletcher giving Calamity soul as well as heart. Highly recommended.


Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Brighton Theatre Group is a chocolate factory all on its own. Nothing in Wonka is as magical as the vision, reach and grasp of this company. It’s perhaps their finest production yet.


Dan O’Brien The Voyage of the Carcass; Emily Jenkins Bobby & Amy

Dan O’Brien’s piece is for dedicated farceurs. By itself outstanding, it’s hoped by several Emily Jenkins’ Bobby & Amy have a postlude of its own, with this team and these two young actors pitched at this moment in their careers.


Flutter-Bye

Since this play and Allison Ferns have a lot of legs, it’ll be worth coming back to see it run.


Kinky Boots The Musical

A busting-out-all-over must-see for spring.


Lula Mebrahtu I Am – OommoO

Everything you’ve heard is true. Lula Mebrahtu is memserising, and I Am – OommoO like its creator has vast potential.


Macbeth

A production which shifts bubbles in the earth. And now we are of them.


Macbeth

It’s still a phenomenal feat and even if you know Macbeth, it’s still a must-see for how a quintessence can be dusted off.


Mark Tournoff: A Word With the Bird

Mark Tournoff’s an engaging and modest MC. The talent he promotes remains and makes visits worthwhile.


Perfect Arrangement

There’s never been a more urgent time for this gem of a work: a small hybrid classic that’s never been produced in the UK before. See it now.


Peter James Picture You Dead

Twists are delicious. If you enjoy Peter James, or thrillers with a light touch, don’t hesitate. Solidly recommended.


Rocky Horror Show

An excellent revival. The strength of this cast led with a special wit by Clune makes it absolutely worth seeing however many times you have. Otherwise, just see it!


The Approach

Pitch-perfect, a beautifully distilled world. A gem.


The Beauty Queen of Leenane

This is stark theatre. Some will hate Martin McDonagh, and some already love him. I’d say you must see this, where it all started.


The Incident Room

NVT have blown into 2025 with two superb productions; this is a must-see.


The Last Laugh

This is a must-see. Never outstaying its welcome, you can leave this show after 85 minutes, but stay for that Q&A. I envy everyone the night I won’t be there for it.


The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe

Huge accomplishment and spectacle now on your doorstep


The Secret Garden/Bleak Expectations

Deliciously wholesome satire, this is a deliriously-paced, superbly-acted production.


The Shark is Broken

Essential theatre for anyone who enjoys new plays with more wit than several comedies. A must-see.
