    Lucy Davies, Chief Executive of Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival says:

    “Brighton Dome is all about the mix – local artists alongside household names, something familiar, something special – spread across our three beautiful stages and beyond. From Le Gateau Chocolat to Stewart Lee, from Arundhati Roy to Rosie Jones – whatever your taste, we hope you see yourself in this season. It’s going to be brilliant”

    In theatre, the “spectacular” (Dame Judi Dench) Eddie Izzard performs Shakespeare’s Hamlet comes to the Brighton Dome stage. Tim Crouch’s legendary piece of experimental theatre An Oak Tree stars a different celebrity every night – none of whom have seen the script before. Previous stars include acclaimed actors David Tennant, Jessie Buckleyand Sophie Okonedo.

    Sutara Gayle – AKA Reggae icon Lorna Gee’s Legends of Them (***** The Stage) is a breath-taking, roof-raising chronicle of her extraordinary life and the legends that have guided her, with electrifying original reggae and gospel-infused tracks.

Brighton Dome’s popular, regular spoken word night STATUS FLO returns, featuring award-winning poet and author Salena Godden and, for a special edition for Black History Month, spoken word poet and former battle rapper BIG SCOOP.

    The reopened Corn Exchange welcomes world-class dance to its stage with Gary Clarke’sDETENTION, a vivid piece of dance theatre exploring the impact of Section 28, the 1988 legislation from Thatcher’s Government that prohibited the promotion of homosexuality in schools. “Full of dynamism and urgency” (The Guardian), the show will feature a local community cast of LGBT+ people.

    Deciphers sees a beautiful and powerful collaboration between two acclaimed choreographers come to life: Naishi Wang and Jean Abreu combine Chinese and Brazilian dance elements to explore what is gained – and lost – in translation. And looking ahead to spring, MÁM will sweep audiences into a whirlwind of myth and magic with its hypnotic fusion of contemporary dance and wild Irish tradition from acclaimed Irish choreographer Michael Keegan Dolan. Presented by Dance Consortium in partnership with Brighton Dome.
