DORCHESTER Drama is staging a revival of an N.F. Simpson play.
They will be performing N. F. Simpson's Was He Anyone? from Friday April 14 to Saturday April 15 at the Corn Exchange, Dorchester and on Saturday May 6 at Martinstown Village Hall.
It tells the story of a man who fell overboard in the Mediterranean and of the things done to help him, for example by sending him a floating piano so he could pass the time until he is rescued.
Was He Anyone stars a talented clutch of actors, sporting an interesting variety of accents, and each playing a number of different roles.
Playwright N.F. Simpson is little known these days - his most famous play is A Resounding Tinkle, which concerned a suburban couple who had been delivered the wrong-sized elephant.
Kenneth Tynan called him 'the most gifted comic writer the English stage has discovered since the war.'
Tickets cost £9 in advance and £10 on the door and are available from Trinity Stores, Trinity Street, Dorchester, or from the box office on 01305 268692.
