UniSC Theatre & Performance presents Dream of Sussex Downs by Roger Hall

Dream of Sussex Downs was written by one of New Zealand’s most prominent playwrights, whose artistic work and influence continues into the 21st century. As Playmarket notes: “Based on Chekhov's Three Sisters, but set in 1950's Wellington. Surrounded by realistic true-blue Kiwis, the three New Zealand sisters are constantly drawn back to 'home' - to England.”

Hall’s reimagining of the source material focuses on a family’s return to New Zealand in the 1950’s, the resulting disillusionment with their lives and the hope for a better future.

This production features the students enrolled in DRA 300: Theatre Production. Dream of Sussex Downs is presented by arrangement with Playmarket.
