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. The play’s authors and the entire cast are village residents. The support crew from director through stage manager and lighting technician to backstage hands and poster design all hail from within five miles of the village centre. \n“Vintage” tells the story of three long serving charity shop volunteers and what happens when a teenager arrives at the shop to serve a Community Service Order. When threatened with closure\, they each discover what the shop really means to them and each other. 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
