A Word from the Chair of Sevenoaks Shakespeare

I’m thrilled to have taken on the role of Chair for Sevenoaks Shakespeare and am keenly aware of the significant legacy I have the privilege to continue! It’s an exciting opportunity to build on the company’s exceptional work in bringing Shakespeare’s timeless stories to a wider audience, in our local area and beyond.
Our aim remains to deliver high-quality productions with a fresh, modern perspective, ensuring the Bard’s works are accessible and engaging for new audiences and established Shakespeare fans alike.
Following a fantastic 2024 season, which included a record three successful productions - including a new outdoor venue at the Archbishop's Palace in Otford for the amazing new work Midsummer —we’re already looking ahead to this year. Plans are well underway for our much-anticipated production of Much Ado About Nothing at the White Rock Inn in Underriver in Summer 2025.  Our fantastic cast, including some familiar and some new faces, are eagerly awaiting the start of rehearsals.
I can’t wait to share more news of future exciting productions with our audiences and to continue championing the magic of Shakespeare for years to come.
