Children's Outdoor Theatre

About

'Bad Dad' by the UK's most loved children's writer, David Walliams, comes to Borde Hill this summer with a thrilling open air theatre show staged by Heartbreak Productions.
Description

Frank's dad, Gilbert, wasn't always considered a criminal. In fact, to Frank and the locals he was no other than the legendary 'king of the track', Gilbert the Great. That was until a tragic accident put a stop to his track-racing days. Feeling like he has gone 'from hero to zero', Frank's father became tempted by the dark allure of life as a get-away driver.

This warm-hearted tale follows Frank and Gilbert as they navigate their way through car chases and convicts in the struggle to escape the clutches of the local crime lord and clear Gilbert's name.
