Wiltshire Creative has announced its full programming for Spring 2025.
Joining the previously announced The 39 Steps is the main stage co-production of The Da Vinci Code, a co-production with Mercury Theatre Colchester. The Da Vinci Code will run from 10th April to 3rd May at Salisbury Playhouse and from 7th to 24th May at Mercury Theatre Colchester.
After the success of their 2023 adaptation of The Girl on the Train, Duncan Abel and Rachel Wagstaff return to Salisbury Playhouse with their adaptation of Dan Brown’s best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code, with the production being directed by Chelsea Walker.
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 theatre 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. Further programming, including Original Theatre’s The Croft, directed by award-winning director Philip Franks, from 9 - 17 May 2025 at Salisbury Playhouse.
The season will also be host to an array of visiting comedians, including Zoe Lyons: Werewolf on 5 April and George Lewis: The Best Thing You’ll Ever Do on 3 May at Salisbury Arts Centre; Miles Jupp: On I Bang on 12 March, Iain Stirling: Relevant on 13 March and Josh Widdicombe: Work in Progress on 5 June at Salisbury Playhouse. Other Spring season programming includes master impressionist, comedian and classical pianist Alistair McGowan at the Playhouse on 30 January.
