One of the UK’s longest-running summer repertory theatres, they have built a reputation for quality, variety and artistic ambition. Each summer, The McGrigor Hall is transformed into an intimate 200-seat theatre for a season of weekly changing productions, culminating in a spectacular musical in the Big Top Tent on the Frinton-on-Sea Greensward – a truly unique theatre experience by the sea.
HALF A SIXPENCE is based on the book by H.G. Wells “Kipps: The Story Of A Simple Soul” and the original musical by Beverley Cross & David Heneker. Original songs by David Heneker, book by Julian Fellowes, new songs & additional lyrics by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, orchestrations by William David Brohn and co-created by Cameron Mackintosh
