A THEATRE company in Tilehurst has announced its latest production and laid out the cast for the summer play.

Fresh from the annual panto earlier this year, Triangle Players will be performing Theft, written by Eric Chappell.

Theft sees a couple returning from an anniversary holiday to find that their house has been burgled while they were away.

When the real identity of a policeman seemingly investigating the case is revealed, it becomes clear that the offender may still be somewhere at the scene of the crime.

As the thief’s identity also becomes clear, a number of uncomfortable truths look set to ruin two happy marriages and a historical friendship hangs in the balance.

Thomas Fuller will portray Trevor Farrington, with Christine Mather set to portray his partner, Jenny.

Jan Charlton will portray Barbara Miles and Barrie Davies will portray her husband, John.

The cast is rounded out by Paul Studd, who portrays Spriggs, and the show is produced by Tracy Harrison.

The play’s author, Eric Chappell, is best known for writing Rising Damp, a BAFTA-winning sitcom starring Leonard Rossiter and Don Warrington which ran from 1974-1978 and spawned a feature film in 1980.

Chappell died at the age of 88 on Friday, April 21, this year.

Theft is showing at 7.30pm in the Tilehurst Methodist Church hall, School Road, from Thursday-Saturday, May 18-20.

Please note that the play isn’t suitable for under-16s.

Tickets are £8 per person, £7 for concessions, available via: ticketsource.co.uk.

The Triangle Players are also currently seeking members ahead of their upcoming shows.

“We’re always looking to recruit new members– no experience is necessary, you’ll gain it as you go, and we’re very welcoming.”

The Players meet at 7.30pm on Wednesdays and Fridays at the hall behind the Methodist church on School Road.

For more information on joining the players, visit: triangleplayers.co.uk
