THE Fordingbridge Players take centre stage with four short plays at the Victoria Rooms from October 18–20 at 7.30pm.

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 is 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.
