A Tale of Two Cities, an adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel by Terence Rattigan and John Gielgud, will be staged at Chichester Festival Theatre on 9 February 2027. Directed by Michael Fentiman, the production features Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay as they navigate love and peril during the Reign of Terror in Paris. The ticket price starts at £10.00.
In 1770s Paris, revolution is stirring. Sydney Carton is a brilliant yet cynical barrister from England. Charles Darnay is the rebel child of French aristocrats. When they both fall for charming émigré Lucie Manette, a chain of events is set in motion which will endanger everyone. As the Reign of Terror rages on the streets of Paris, for some, love is a lifeline; for others, a sentence to the guillotine.
Adapted by Terence Rattigan (The Winslow Boy, The Deep Blue Sea) and John Gielgud, based on Dickens’ classicnovel, this epic story of love, sacrifice andredemption asks: is there any price too great to pay for love? A Tale of Two Cities is a Marlowe Theatre production, directed by Michael Fentiman (Amélie, RCS’s Titus Andronicus, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Loot).
