ONE of the country’s most popular touring theatre companies is heading to Feckenham with a collection of tales, history and ballads.

The versatile Northumberland Theatre Company will be performing a collection of stories at Feckenham Village Hall.

The show begins with the proud Will Harden standing tall and refusing to marry the squire’s daughter.

He is given a day to decide his fate. So, in the meantime, the hangman decides to tell a few stories...

The light-hearted tales are full of comical misadventures and are performed with music, song and plenty of swashing and buckling.

The tales include A Snowball in June, Mideside Maggie's Bannock, The Adventures of Launcelot Errington and his Nephew Mark and other timeless classics.

A spokesman from the village hall said: "What better way to round off the weekend than with a good laugh and a bit of merriment – Feckenham Village Hall has a well stocked bar to help things along and, if you’re worried about work on Monday morning, the show will finish well before your bedtime."

The show, suitable for those over 13-years-old is on Sunday, October 4 at Feckenham Village Hall at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £10 and are on sale at the Village Shop and The Rose & Crown in Feckenham.
