From August 2025

The electrifying hit musical about The Kinks, Sunny Afternoon is back to rock Brighton!

Welcome to THEATRE ROYAL BRIGHTON

Things are looking rather spooky this season at Theatre Royal Brighton as we present tales of intrigue and murder, both old and new. In September, we go back to Regency England for a world premiere production of Death Comes to Pemberley, a thrilling combination of Jane Austen’s timeless romance and a gripping murder mystery. As the nights draw in, we welcome the return of West End favourite 2:22 A Ghost Story, starring Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton. Then, the nation’s favourite detective will tread the boards as Tom Chambers plays Inspector Morse in House of Ghosts

As we prepare for the frights and delights of Halloween, step into a world of deception, desire and deadly ambition with an electrifying new stage adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley, visiting Brighton prior to the West End. As November arrives, The Woman in Black is back. Are you brave enough to book? Go on, we dare you…

But fear not, we’ll end the year with more joy than chills as we host two musicals perfect for the festive season. First, the fabulous HERE & NOW – The Steps Musical, a joyous fun-filled production told through Steps’ songs. Then we will travel back to the swinging 60s with The Kinks’ multi award-winning hit musical, Sunny Afternoon

We hope to welcome you soon.
