Are you missing your fix of Downton Abbey? Do you need more class and fabulous frocks in your life? Then Thorpe Players may have the answer. Their next play is An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde, and plays don't come much classier than that.

A story about an honest politician whose past catches up with him, director Valerie Lane says that "the play may have been written in 1895, but some issues don't change, and human nature certainly doesn't! The cast have worked incredibly hard to make sure that the play is both enjoyable and relevant to a modern audience." All Wilde's usual and clever story-telling is contained in this classic comedy, which is at Thorpe Village Hall from Wednesday 18th to Saturday 21st May at 8pm. Tickets cost £9 and £10 and can be booked on 07923 583295 or on the door, subject to availability.

The Thorpe Players will peform Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband at the Thorpe Village Hall, Coldharbour Lane from Wednesday, May 18 until Saturday, May 21.

Each performance of the classic play will run from 7.55pm until 10.30pm.

Tickets cost £9 and are available from the box office on 07923 583295.
