From August 2025
The electrifying hit musical about The Kinks, Sunny Afternoon is back to rock 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.

We spend this wisely to give you the best experience possible, provide equal access for everyone and offer creative learning opportunities in local communities across the UK. Additional fees may also apply where we sell tickets for non-ATG venues, or for selected big name shows and performances. These additional fees may take the form of a per ticket booking fee and/or a one-off transaction fee. Please check our website for the most up-to-date ticket prices and fees. The information in this brochure is correct at the time of going to press. We reserve the right to make alterations to the published programme of events, their prices, concessions, offers and fees.
