Oddsocks Theatre return to Newhaven Fort with Richard III
“Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by Oddsocks”
The ever popular Oddsocks theatre company will be returning to Newhaven Fort on Tuesday 25th August, for an open-air performance of Shakespeare’s Richard III.
The mead is flowing freely as medieval England rejoices in the summer glow of peace after many years of vicious in-fighting between the houses of York and Lancaster. Songs are sung and music plays in the cheerful court of King Edward….
…..But not for long!
Suspicions are roused, rumours are rife and murders are meticulously planned. Richard, Duke of Gloucester has avaricious intentions on his brother’s crown and his treacherous methods make Machiavelli look like Mickey Mouse.
Monstrous characters are brought outrageously to life amid the music, mayhem and comic chaos created by the multi-talented Oddsocks team. Another must-see production from this outstanding company who this summer celebrate their twentieth year of success.
Doors will open at 6:45 pm and guests are invited to bring a picnic supper to enjoy before the performance at 7:30 pm. Alternatively the Fort café will be open serving light refreshments and alcoholic beverages. Tickets are priced at £12.50 for adults and £9.00 for concessions and are now available to purchase from Newhaven Fort. Telephone 01273 517622 for bookings and enquiries.

Notes to Editor:
Newhaven Fort is an award-winning visitor attraction, open to the public from March to October. The Fort is owned and operated by Lewes District Council and offers visitors the opportunity to experience a day out with a difference, as they step into wartime Britain and follow in the footsteps of people who lived through the first and second World Wars. The massive walls, ramparts, tunnels and gun emplacements all fire the imagination, and the clifftop location offers stunning, far-reaching views across Seaford Bay, Newhaven Port and the English Channel.
