Your Dream – a virtual community event from Chichester Festival Theatre

Join us as we mark our 60th Anniversary with six 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 our birthday week in July giving audiences across the globe an opportunity to celebrate with us.

Do you have what it takes to be the next Laurence Olivier? Want to join our biggest company yet? We’re inviting you all to take part in one mammoth online performance of a scene from A Midsummer Night’s Dream; you choose your own stage and your own costume, you are your own director!

The scene is Act V Scene 1 – the ‘rude mechanicals’ play of Pyramus and Thisbe. You can choose any or all of it, between lines 109 (Prologue: ‘If we offend, it is with our good will’) and 861 (Theseus: ‘In nightly revels and new jollity’).

Just send us a video of you performing your extract and we will edit them all together for a one-off screening online from 6 July.

The deadline for submissions is Friday 6 May; visit our website for further details and how to submit your entry.
