An autumn theatre line-up is set to take audiences on a journey through community, resilience and world-class storytelling.
Brighton Dome’s latest programme features a mix of homegrown talent and nationally acclaimed performances.
Lucy Davies, chief executive of Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival, said: "This autumn, our theatre programme celebrates the very best of Brighton and beyond.
"From landmark works returning home to stories inspired by community and resilience, these are fantastic pieces of theatre-making, intimate and epic, classic and original."
Comedian Eddie Izzard will take to the stage with a solo performance of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, described by Dame Judi Dench as "spectacular."
Meanwhile, Tim Crouch’s experimental play An Oak Tree returns to Brighton more than 20 years after it was first developed in the city.
Each night, a different guest actor who has neither seen nor read the play performs alongside Crouch, with the cast yet to be announced.
Victoria Melody’s new show Trouble, Struggle, Bubble and Squeak, directed by comedian Mark Thomas, will also feature.
Commissioned by Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival, the show was developed with the community of Whitehawk and supported by The Crew Club.
