SOUTH Cerney Players are preparing for their next production, Rumours, a farce by Neil Simon.
The play will be performed at South Cerney Village Hall over four nights from Wednesday, June 24 until Saturday, June 27.
Ken and Chris have found their host Charley, a prominent Government official, in his bedroom, too dazed to speak, with a bullet wound in his ear lobe.
Len and Claire arrive, themselves injured in a car crash, and are soon joined by Ernest and Cookie, Glenn and Cassie, each with their own problems.
A second, accidental gunshot leaves Ken temporarily deaf, the police arrive and Len has to pretend he is Charley, concocting a touching and fantastic explanation.
•Tickets (£6 Weds-Fri, £7 Sat, concessions £5 Weds only) are available from South Cerney Post Office.
