Epsilon Productions will present The State vs John Hayes at the King's Head Pub Theatre in Islington, north London, which runs from 28 October to 22 November 2015, with an official opening on 29 October 2015.

"Huntsville prison, Texas, 1959; Elyese Dukie is on Death Row for murdering her husband and her lover. Tomorrow she goes to court for the last time. But tonight Elyese reveals the one thing she won't tell the court or the string of psychiatrists sent to diagnose her: that she is not alone in her cell... John Hayes is in there with her. Psychopath or seductress? Murderer or manipulator? Psychiatric hospital or the electric chair? What does she deserve?" The drama is written and performed by Lucy Roslyn and is directed by Jemma Gross.

The King's Head Pub Theatre is currently celebrating the final months of its 45th year with their inaugural new writing festival, #Festival45 which has seen 23 different shows from 23 young companies over 5 weeks.

Tickets for the production are now on sale.
