Actonians Drama Group

Synopsis

For four nights only we are transforming Iron Acton Parish Hall into a pub! We will perform eight very short plays to entertain you throughout the evening.  It will be a relaxed, informal setting with drinks and bar snacks on sale.  And at the end of the evening you can vote for your favourite play.  

Due to the seating arrangement for these evenings ticket numbers will be limited and so it is important to buy your tickets early to guarantee a seat!
