Join Chichester Festival Theatre (CFT) in marking their 60th Anniversary with five dynamic digital events celebrating Chichester Festival Theatre across the decades. Using new technology to put the history of CFT centre stage, these special events will be released over CFT’s birthday week in July giving audiences across the globe an opportunity to celebrate with them.

Step back in time and see the much-loved Festival Theatre as it was in 1962. Using cutting-edge technology, the 1962 stage was recreated for a virtual meet-up with Daniel Evans and the Artistic Director of the Stratford Festival Theatre in Ontario, Canada, Antoni Cimolino. Launching on CFT’s official 60th birthday, they will talk about the shared history of the two buildings including the unique hexagonal designs. As they look back on 60 years of extraordinary theatre, they relive some favourite productions and meet up with special guests as they travel through the decades.
