About the event

Vanity Fair - Open-air Theatre
Step into the dazzling world of Vanity Fair – a giddy carousel of social climbers, buffoons, and preening dandies. Set against the historic backdrop of Lewes Castle’s Gun Garden, this bold new adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray’s classic novel whirls audiences through a tale of ambition, love, betrayal, and ruthless self-advancement.

Follow the fortunes of the cunning Becky Sharp and the sweet-natured Amelia Sedley as they navigate the glittering Regency world of salons and ballrooms – and the brutal realities of the battlefield at Waterloo.

Infused with original music, sharp wit, and theatrical flair, this vibrant production is brought to life by the same inventive company that wowed audiences with Macbeth and Much Ado About Nothing. Join us for an unforgettable evening of open-air theatre, full of drama, humour, and heart, surrounded by 1000 years of history.

This is an outdoor performance, so please dress for the weather. The show will go on in all but the most extreme weather. Pack a picnic, bring a blanket or chair to sit on and enjoy!

Doors open 30 minutes before the performance begins.
