BUCKLAND Monachorum Drama Group is busily rehearsing for its autumn pantomime production of 'Queen of Hearts' by Robert Marlowe.

The pantomime is based around the nursery rhyme story of the knave of hearts stealing the tarts. But in true pantomime style, there are a fair few twists and turns, plus a lot of laughs, before the final scenes!

'Queen of Hearts' takes to the stage at Buckland Monachorum Village Hall on December 2, 3, 4 and 5 at 7.30pm, with a matinée performance on December 5 at 2.30pm. Tickets are £6 (£4 concession only at the matinée) and are available from the box office on 01822 855336 or by email to: [email protected]">[email protected]
