The open-air set.

With the kind permission of the Hall Barn estate, the set was constructed below an ancient yew hedge. At upstage centre is one of the many estate follies which cannot be seen clearly as the set is against it. Hired raked seating sat up to 600 paying customers; the photo is taken from the rear centre.
