Chichester Festival Theatre's winter season offers drama, dance, family shows, music and comedy from visiting companies.

Edward Fox stars in a new, one-man play, Sand in the Sandwiches, celebrating the poet John Betjeman, travelling from Betjeman's boyhood to life as Britain's Poet Laureate, while Amanda Holden, Angela Griffin, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Tamzin Outhwaite and Nicola Stephenson feature in Richard Harris's tap class comedy Stepping Out.

Frantic Assembly's Things I Know to be True by Australian writer Andrew Bovell features Imogen Stubbs and Natalie Casey, while Robert Powell and Liza Goddard star in Alan Ayckbourn's Relatively Speaking, E M Forster's A Room with a View stars Felicity Kendal and Ken Stott and Reece Shearsmith perform Ronald Harwood's The Dresser.

There are 74 onstage deaths in the works of William Shakespeare and Brighton-based Spymonkey will perform them all in The Complete Deaths, created as a tribute to the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death.
