First day of rehearsals for Assassins | Festival 2023 | Chichester Festival Theatre

Rehearsals are underway for our first musical of Festival 2023, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s Tony Award-winning biting musical comedy Assassins. We chatted to cast members Danny Mac and Carly Mercedes Dyer on their first day about what audiences can expect from this daring, time-bending journey through American history.

Alongside our tradition of producing great plays with great actors, CFT seeks out innovative and exciting voices in order to explore newer forms of theatre, alongside our traditional repertoire. We are committed to supporting individuals in developing their creative, artistic, personal and social skills alongside a life-long enjoyment and appreciation of the arts. Our ambition is to promote inclusivity, accessibility and diversity, and to ensure rich opportunities for all people, regardless of age, culture and social background, to feel inspired, challenged and excited by the arts. Situated in a cathedral city in West Sussex between the South Downs and the sea, the Festival Theatre’s bold thrust stage design makes it one of England’s most striking playhouses; our studio theatre, the Minerva Theatre, sits nearby.
