Director Mike Poole said: “Battle now has an amateur theatre group that performs plays – and what better place to make our debut than the iconic Battle Abbey?

“We know that audiences will love watching this classic comedy in this wonderful location – and we’ve made the ticket prices pocket-friendly and inclement weather won’t stop us performing, so we’re hoping to encourage as many locals to come along and support us.”

Tickets cost £10 for adults and £5 for under 18s.
