Welcome to SACRED: Chelsea Theatre's unique reflection on the people, places and beliefs we treasure. We've asked six major international performers to present their take on relationships, religion, punk, death and shepherd's pie. In the process they will challenge the structures of Dame Theatre herself. Oh yes. Nothing, except Cliff Richard, lasts forever. Each of these superstar performers has nominated an artist from the next generation who will make a complementary and brand-spankingly new show. We've divided the season into two. Autumn 2006 is your chance to Get In At The Start with each pair of artists performing in double bills. In 2007 you'll see The Finished Article as each performs solo. Sheila Ghelani investigates whiteness as colour, idea, cultural signifier, and symbol of horror.
