As their contribution to the Trowbridge Arts Festival, Trowbridge Players are performing their Plays and Pudding evening again on Monday, October 28 at The Arc Theatre on College Road.

The two one-act plays, both by David Tristram, are both extremely funny and got a great response when first performed in August: for this reprise the Players are once again serving a selection of delicious puddings after the 7.30pm show.

First on the menu is The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley, in which Gordon, Margaret, Joyce and Bernard tackle yet another threat to their survival in the shape of a rival am-dram group, newly formed in their village, determined to upstage them with an award-winning musical.

The querulous quartet pull together to devise an ingenious military-style plan that doesn’t go quite to plan. When their subterfuge is discovered by the rival society’s psychopathic front-of-house manager, he’s none too pleased.

Add in a few emotional complications for Gordon, and things look a little grim for Little Grimley. Could this finally be the end of their society?

Completing the evening’s menu is the aptly titled What’s for Pudding.

Jack and Mary are preparing themselves for yet another stultifyingly boring night in, when the doorbell rings...

What follows is a series of anarchic comic revelations, as we meet their friends Ted and Maureen, and the foursome proceed to get on the wrong side of a bottle of whiskey Tickets for what should be a tremendous evening of fun and good food are available now from the festival box office on 01722 321744 or at www.trowbridgeartsfestival. co.uk
