The play they will be presenting is called "We Found Love and An Exquisite Set of Porcelain Figurines Aboard the SS Farndale Avenue".
The play is written by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jnr and will be directed by Vivienne Scott and is by arrangement with Origin Theatrical.
The Farndale Avenue Dramatic Society embark on a production in which they lurch from crisis to mismanaged crisis. Set in the 1930s on a luxury ocean liner and a treasure island, its cast of four will have you in stitches as they switch between their 16 roles.
They even have a go at singing and dancing.
Too well written to be silly, too well directed to be slapstick, this nautical play within a play is hilarious!
