THESPIANS from Forest Forge in Ringwood will be touring their new production from today (Thursday).

Woman of Flowers is a world première, written for RADA-trained deaf actress Sophie Stone, by award-winning playwright Kaite O’Reilly. The tale is an ancient Welsh story of desire, duty and deceit that explores the lengths someone will go to in order to escape their own life.

Kirstie Davis, artistic director of Forest Forge, said: “We are so excited to be producing this extraordinary piece, which will equally challenge and delight an audience.”

It will be performed on Saturday, October 11 at the Victoria Rooms, Fordingbridge, on Tuesday, October 21 at Ibsley Village Hall and on Saturday, November 1 at Greyfriars Community Centre, Ringwood.
