What a line-up! Don’t miss the celeb-heavy Christmas fundraising night at Chippy Theatre on December 14 – A VERY COTSWOLD CHRISTMAS.
Boasting celebrated stage and screen actors, Toby Jones and David Bradley, celebrity chef and author Dame Prue Leith, acclaimed musician Jack Savoretti and cabaret superstar Andrew Pepper the special show aims to raise funds for The Theatre Chipping Norton.
The special guest performers will share readings, music, recipes and reminiscences, all with a very Cotswold twist (and plenty of mulled wine) in this joyful evening of festive frolics.
Booking opens tomorrow (November 13 at 2pm) for Friends of The Theatre and the general public from 2pm on Tuesday November 17.
Olivier and BAFTA award-winning actor Toby Jones, whose work spans, TV, theatre and film, celebrates a long relationship with Chippy Theatre that has even directed its famous pantomime.
David Bradley worked with The Theatre Chipping Norton in 2020 to create a one-man, ‘tour-de-force’ production of A Christmas Carol, extracts of which he will revisit as part of the evening.
Restaurateur, broadcaster, cookery writer and novelist, Dame Prue Leith, cemented her ‘national treasure’ status as a judge on The Great British Bake Off and numerous other cooking-related TV programmes. The Cotswolds resident, now in her fourth series of Prue Leith’s Cotswold Kitchen, will also join them on stage.
One of the most distinctive and enduring voices in British music, Jack Savoretti’s 20-year career has included two UK number ones and collaborations with Kylie Minogue, Nile Rodgers, Bob Dylan, and Shania Twain.
Andrew Pepper is a well-known face on the London Cabaret scene and a much-loved dame in four recent Theatre Chipping Norton pantomimes. Actor, musical supremo and Chippy favourite, he will be returning with his charismatic wit, and a host of eclectic songs spanning from chanson to Cher.
And with further guest performers to be announced, don’t miss out on this ONE NIGHT ONLY experience – a unique opportunity to see world-class performers in the intimate setting of The Theatre Chipping Norton’s beautiful 225-seat auditorium.
