There were three short plays on offer, Two Old Bags, by Paul Haines about the philosophy of two Bag Ladies on a Park bench, Villa for Sale, translated from the French, by Sacha Guitry and a whimsical comedy about a French twister who sees an opportunity to make instant money and takes it.

Paul Haines, a member of Branscombe Players, said: "He (Glenn Carlyon) was well pleased and has encouraged the Players to press on with future revival plans.
