What really happened? The jury’s out- and this time it’s you! I didn’t have to phone-a-friend. It wasn’t even 50/50. This was a role I had to take on, with A: a brilliant director; B: a terrific script; C: a different audience live each night; and D: a story that divides opinion to this day. Final answer? Ask the audience!” QUIZ TOUR CREATIVE TEAM Quiz is directed by Artistic Director of Chichester Festival Theatre,Daniel Evans and Seán Linnen with design by Robert Jones, and produced by Jonathan Church Theatre Productions and Wessex Grove, by arrangement with William Village.
