SUMMARY:VINTAGE Theare in Child Okeford
DESCRIPTION:Child Okeford’s own theatre group\, COMPACT\, have gathered together local talent to present the premiere of the new play “Vintage”. \nThis full-length drama is a new and exciting undertaking for COMPACT\, and a very community focused enterprise.

Although primarily a drama\, “Vintage” is not without its comedic moments\, and promises to be a hugely entertaining evening. \nThe drama deals with some difficult subjects\, such as loss\, grief\, and the importance of friendship. It will appeal to audiences over the age of sixteen. \nPerformances are at 7:30 pm on the 18th and 19th October 2024. \nTickets are £10 each and are available from The Village Shop in Child Okeford or from Richard Hewitt at rik.hewitt(a)outlook.com or tel 01258 861763
