THEY say variety is the spice of life — so the Hatherleigh Players will be full of life as they put on their variety show this weekend.

The community centre will host the fun from February 21 to February 23, with the players putting on a mini pantomime and variety show.

Among the treats throughout the performances will be wartime songs, and classic comedy sketches and songs from Monty Python's Flying Circus and the Two Ronnies, including their own version of the famous 'Four Candles' sketch.

The mini pantomime, entitled 'Red Hot Cinders', will delight children both young and old. There will also be music from the town's own ukulele band.

The show will have two short intervals for drinks and a draw. Tickets are available from Richard Tidball Insurance Services, or on the door. Entry costs £5 for adults and £2.50 for under 16s. The show starts at 7.30pm each night.
