Rob Hall directs for the first time for New Theatre Productions this summer – a production dedicated to the memory of NTP founder John Hyatt who died last autumn at the age of 87.

The productions, as always, are in the The Pergola Open Air Theatre, West Dean Gardens.

Rob takes the helm for Habeas Corpus by Alan Bennett (contains adult humour) which will alternate with Outside Edge, the cricketing comedy by Richard Harris, with tickets allowing entry to West Dean Gardens from 5.30pm and picnics welcome. Habeas Corpus will be on June 30, July 6 and July 8; Outside Edge performances will be on June 29, July 1, 5, and 7.
