With so many live performances having been cancelled due to Covid-19, professional theatre company This Is My Theatre has worked out a plan to still play to outdoor venues this summer, including Danny House in Hurstpierpoint.

Ethan Taylor from the production company said: “Although 2020 isn’t quite the year any of us thought it would be, we are very excited to be one of the first theatre companies in the country to be dusting ourselves off and getting back on the road, and we are sure that our fun-filled show (packed with sword fights, puppetry and live music) will bring some much-needed joy this summer.”

The Three Musketeers will play as an open air show in the grounds of Danny House on Sunday 30th August at 3pm.

Rather than individual tickets on sale, the audience capacity will be made up from a series of ‘squares’ – sold per square metre, to cater for different size households. For instance a medium space is one metre square and suitable for either two adults sitting on a rug on their own. Or it could house one adult and two children, or four children.

Picnic spaces will be marked by coloured spaces on the ground and separated by 2m distances between each one. The show will run for approximately 1 hour 15 minutes with no interval to limit movement around the site.
