Autumn Season Opening Production

Friday 17th to Saturday 25th September at 7.30 pm

Habeas Corpus

By Alan Bennett
Directed by Jenny Lane

The Wharf's new season kicks off with a blast from the past - 'Habeas Corpus', Alan Bennett's hilarious take on the Swinging 60s... Free love... Mini skirts... Hippies... and Psychedelia.

It's all happening in Hove, as the Wicksteed family get to grips with the permissive society - some more enthusiastically than others.

To all members and supporters of the Wharf Theatre:

The Theatre is run entirely by volunteers and, if you don't fancy acting on stage, there are always lots of opportunities for you to help out with vital and rewarding responsibilities off the stage, both behind the scenes and in the Front of House.  Each performance requires normally around eleven volunteers to help run the box office, bar and refreshments, manage the stage, props and actors, run the lighting and sound effects required and carry out the essential duties of perfomance licencee.  In addition, there are numerous opportunites to help design, build and decorate sets, as well as to compose publicity material help with the distribution and management of publicity material (including the content of this website). 

If you enjoy theatre but do not want to appear on stage, why not double your enjoyment by joining one of our off-stage teams to help provide critical supporting skills that the Theatre needs.  Training is provided for these responsibilities, and you will not only meet similarly enthusiastic people but also become a valuable part of the Theatre family.

You do not need to be a member to come and have a look and to try out these tasks, although if you wish to pursue technical and back-stage work for productions you will ultimately require membership.  To find out more, please e-mail the Chairman or any of the Management team via the Contacts page.
