We are delighted to be co-producing one of Brighton Festival’s highlights this year, The Public Theater’s The Gabriels.

Richard Nelson’s new trilogy arrives on Saturday, May 20 and runs until Sunday May 27. You can see one play or join us for all three in one sitting over the weekend dates. 

Nelson’s The Apple Family Plays was the theatrical highlight of the 2015 Brighton Festival. Now the Tony Award-winning playwright and director follows up with The Gabriels, a landmark series that follows one extraordinary, imperfect American family in real time, tracking their lives throughout the turbulent election year of 2016. History, money, politics, art and culture are all on the table in this moving three play cycle about a family celebrating, remembering and waiting for the world to change. 

As well as these very special performances, we hope you will make a day of it with us for the weekend performances. A special ‘American style’ menu will be available, including Chilli, Mac ‘n’ Cheese and boxed salads. Festival Fizz and Sumptuous Sundowner cocktails, made with gin or vodka, will also be on offer, along with our usual delicious beers, wines, hot and soft drinks. 

For each of The Gabriels performances we also have 15 infrared hearing devices in-house.  These can be used by audience members with hearing aids or without.

We are planning on setting up an area inside the auditorium to offer the system to audience members. Please ask a member of the Front of House team for more information during your visit or email us in advance. 

We are less than 10 minutes from Brighton and Lewes by train. For information on parking and how to get here please visit here.
