Double feature at the theatre NANTWICH Players are staging two plays in one evening at the end of March. "Costume Drama" will be presented by special guests DTAT theatre group. In a world of super-powered people, the powerful lead and the powerless follow - though in a world of telepaths how can anyone even know what is real? The play is written and directed by Duncan Compton. In "Comment is Free", by James Fritz, a journalist forms the centre of a devastating media storm in an urgent, gripping and innovative play. It examines the obsession with free speech and the voyeuristic nature of social media and 24-hour news. It shines a harsh light on contemporary society and asks questions about the power or words and personal responsibility. The plays will be staged from Friday, March 31 to Sunday, April 2, at 7.45pm. Tickets, priced at £8, are on sale at Nantwich Tourist Information Office in the Civic Hall in Market Street (telephone 01270 600727) or on-line at www.nantwichtowncouncil.gov.uk These are Studio Productions which are the same as full presentations except that they are staged in front of black curtains rather than scenery.
