“In our 20 years of touring, Chapterhouse has established itself as one of the most successful and acclaimed touring companies in the country, breathing new life into the texts of some of literature’s most celebrated writers, from Shakespeare to Austen to the Brontë sisters.

Scriptwriter Laura Turner said: “It’s been a pleasure to be involved with Chapterhouse’s productions over the last decade and this year is no exception. I’m delighted to see some of my favourite classic stories coming to life on stage, from Pride and Prejudice to The Secret Garden - one of most beloved books. I hope audiences young and old alike find plenty to enjoy in 2019’s array of shows.”

Richard Main, artistic director and producer, added: “We are thrilled to still be joining our audiences at beautiful venues for this, our 20th year as a company. We’ve brought back some of our most popular, best-loved shows from over the years, as well as some newer shows. I am excited to be working with our creative teams of actors and directors, as well as with Laura Turner, who beautifully adapts the shows for the stage. Last year we were lucky with a long, hot summer. We’ve got our fingers crossed for this year!”
