Incoming artistic director Daniel Evans and executive director Rachel Tackley have announced their first season at the helm of the powerhouse Chichester Festival Theatre, which under the previous regime was responsible for such West End transfers as Sweeney Todd, Gypsy, and Singin’ in the Rain.
Actors set to appear will include the U.K. stage debut of Tony- and Oscar-winning Marcia Gay Harden in a new production of Sweet Bird of Youth; Ian McKellen returning to the role of King Lear that he has previously played for the RSC in a new production; popular U.K. comedy star Omid Djali in Fiddler on the Roof; and Olivier Award winner Sharon D. Clarke in the first U.K.-originated production of Jeanine Tesori and Tony Kushner’s Caroline, or Change. The season will also include new plays by James Graham, Edna O’Brien, and Deborah Bruce.
