Theatre Royal Brighton has unveiled its autumn season, which runs from September to the end of the year and includes appearances by some of the country’s most talented and best-loved actors in a series of top quality productions.

Early highlights include a revival of **Ronald Harwood’s** classic play **The Dresser**, starring **Ken Stott** (*Rebus, God of Carnage*) and **Reece Shearsmith** (*The League of Gentlemen, Inside Number 9*). You can see it in Brighton before it transfers to the West End.

Also in September, fans of **Alan Ayckbourn** can catch his comedy **Relatively Speaking**, the writer’s first great West End success. The cast includes **Robert Powell** (*Single Spies, Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell, King Charles III*) and **Liza Goddard** (*Doctor Who, Bergerac*).

In October**, Georgia May Foote** (Strictly Come Dancing, Coronation St) stars as Holly Golightly in a stage version of **Truman Capote’s** classic tale **Breakfast at Tiffany’s**, while **Felicity Kendal** makes a return to Brighton in a production of **A Room with a View**, based on the novel by **E.M. Forster**.

In November, Olivier Award winner **Mark Gatiss** (*Sherlock, Doctor Who*) stars alongside **Ian Hallard** (*Doctor Who, An Adventure in Space and Time*) in the eagerly anticipated revival of Mart Crowley’s gay milestone play, **The Boys in the Band.**

Also in November**, English Touring Theatre** return to Brighton to present a world premiere production **of Lady Chatterley’s Lover** by **D.H. Lawrence**.

In December the autumn season concludes with the award-winning **Sunny Afternoon**, a musical charting the early life of Ray Davies and the rise to stardom of The Kinks, written around their classic songs .

There’s also a series of one night only shows throughout the season, including:

- **Killer Queen**, recreating the high energy, powerful phenomenon that was Queen live.
- **Dame Joan Collins**, an intimate evening with the Hollywood legend and national treasure.
- **An Evening of Dirty Dancing: The Tribute Show**.
