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.
