Artistic Director of Wiltshire Creative, Gareth Machin said today, “I am thrilled that our 2025 Spring season will include two made in Salisbury productions, John Buchan’s The 39 Steps co-produced with Mercury Theatre Colchester and Octagon Theatre Bolton and Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, a further co-production with the Mercury Theatre Colchester. Alongside a packed programme of visiting work I know we have a fantastic offer of high quality entertainment for our audience here in Salisbury and beyond.”
Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code added, “As a storyteller, I’m always excited to see a new interpretation of my work. Watching The Da Vinci Code come to life on stage, where every scene is felt in real-time, is a reminder of just how powerful the theater can be. Live actors breathe a different kind of energy into the story, and I’m eager to see how Rachel {Wagstaff} and Duncan {Abel]’s clever script will connect with audiences in this fresh and thrilling new production.”
Highlights of the visiting season include children’s shows Treasure Island from 27 – 29 March and The Three Little Pigs from 20 – 21 June at Salisbury Playhouse. With further programming including Original Theatre’s The Croft, directed by award-winning director Philip Franks from 9 – 17 May 2025 at Salisbury Playhouse.
