A DRAMATIC passion will see two villages uniting to present a theatrical extravaganza.

Davenham Players and Moulton Drama Group will present a series of one-act plays at both of their theatres this summer.

Davenham Theatre, in Church Street, will host the first run from July 16 to 18.

Then Moulton Village Hall, in Main Road, will show the plays from July 23 to 25.

Moulton's contribution is 'Calling Time', a comedy by Derek Webb, a one act play with four separate sections depicting meetings in a pub.

The titles of Moulton's four sections are 'Goodbye Simon', directed by Sheila Hetherington, 'What’s Yours?', directed by Annie Makepeace, 'Mr Critchley, isn’t it?', directed by Sheila Hetherington and 'Who’s Joe?' directed by Annie Makepeace.

Davenham's contributions are four individual pieces all directed by Paulette Anderson.

The first two are monologues 'Saying it with Flowers', by Christine Furnivall, and 'Manny's Party', by Geoff Saunders.

These will be followed by a two-hander called 'Lost', by Tony Moore, and short play for five people 'What's for Pudding?', by David Tristam.

Tickets cost £8.00 at either venue and all eight plays will be presented at both theatres at 7.30pm.
