THE Fordingbridge Players return to take centre stage with its autumn production.

Following the group’s highly-acclaimed performance of Snake In the Grass the Players will be back performing at the Victoria Rooms from October 18–20 at 7.30pm.

The Players will perform four short plays ranging from sinister to poignant to hilarious.

A Cut In The Rates by Alan Ayckbourn – When Miss Pickhart visits the illusionist Ratchet on official Town Hall business, she discovers a sinister secret until the play takes an unexpected twist.

Acorn Fields by Barry Wood – Charlie is visiting Acorn Fields to move his father in. He’s much impressed with the facilities, but is the great hospitality all due to a misunderstanding?

Towpath by Robert Iles – Sitting by a canal bank, a lone woman finds herself at the centre of a growing group of strangers, each with a tale to share and a problem to solve.

Doggies by Jean McConnell – Hilarious play about two owners of very different dogs – a Pekingese and a scruff, out for a walk on the beach.
