REHEASALS are underway for the Actors of North Tawton Society (ANTS) and Young ANTS presentation of two plays, “Slim Chance” by Peter Gordon and “The (Almost) Totally True Story of Hansel and Gretel” by Steph DeFerie.

Performances will take place in North Tawton Town Hall on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 5 to 7, doors open at 7pm and the first play beginning at 7.30pm.

“The (Almost) Totally True Story of Hansel and Gretel” tells the story of a fairy godmother explaining the story of “Snow White”, but her wand is bent and things aren’t going quite to plan!

To make things worse she’s interrupted by a couple of policemen who are looking for two very dangerous criminals...

“Slim Chance” tells the story of Jean, the branch organiser of a slimming club, who is frustrated by the late arrivals of her charges.

Even when the motley collection of members have all arrived, it is clear that the slimming aspect of their weekly meetings is the last thing on their minds.

Tickets to watch the comedy one-act plays are priced at £6 for adults and £4 for children and are available from North Tawton Post Office.
