Redlands: A local story of the most famous rock group members went on trial.
In a world premiere at Chichester Festival Theatre, Charlotte Jones’s new play Redlands catapults us back to the Chichester of 1967, when the most famous members of the most infamous rock group in the world were on trial.
CFT artistic director Justin Audibert says: ‘This is a local story with national resonance. It tells the dramatic story of the drugs bust at Keith Richards’ house in the Witterings, and explores how Michael Havers QC manages to get the Rolling Stones acquitted; and how for his young son, the esteemed actor Nigel Havers, the experience changes his life forever.
‘As a dedicated Rolling Stones fan myself, it gives me enormous ‘satisfaction’ to be directing this colourful, vibrant piece of ensemble theatre which will be supported with a live band onstage and some absolutely brilliant R&B songs.’
Win a pair of tickets to see ‘Redlands’ at Chichester Festival Theatre on Friday 20th September at 7.30pm.
Redlands runs 20th September – 18th October. Tickets available from www.cft.org.uk
