TROWBRIDGE Players are following the success of their Plays and Pudding production in 2013, and it's reprise for the Trowbridge Arts Festival later that year, and are back at the Arc Theatre for two nights with an evening of one act plays, and a pudding to compete the night.
The evening features two short plays, Bazaar and Rummage by Sue Townsend (author of the Adrian Mole books) and Riddle in the Sandby Alistair Faulkner,a local playwright from Salisbury.
In Bazaar and Rummage Gwenda, an ex-agoraphobic, leads a self-help group of three who have been unable to leave their homes for a variety of reasons. She forces them to help at a local bazaar, enlisting the support of Fliss, a trainee social-worker. While sorting through the rummage their individual fears erupt but calm is restored by the ever-sensible Fliss.
Riddle In The Sand is billed as a comedy of the incredible. A body of a man has been found buried in the sand of a holiday beach. The curious thing is he's wearing a pin-stripe suit and a bowler hat, clutching an umbrella in one hand and brief case in the other. Inspector Buckett and Sergeant Spade have, by chance, been assigned to the case.
The production comes to the stage at the Arc Theatre Trowbridge on Friday, August 5 and Saturday, August 6 at 7.30pm. Tickets at £9 and £7 conc are available from the box office on 01225 756376 or online at www,arctheatre.org.uk
