Into the Breach is a heartwarming drama of love, war and odd jobs. The show will be performed at Southwell Library on Friday 24th April at 7.30pm.

Set during the Second World War, this nostalgic, funny and moving story will appeal to all. It is a vivid portrait of village life with all 17 colourful characters played by one man. Suitable for anyone nine years old and above. Tickets: £9 available from the Library, 01636 812148 or on the door.
