THEATR Gwaun in Fishguard is preparing to stage a special community play.

It’s the Drink Talking is a TV-style live show with comedy, drama, music and a quiz designed to highlight the dangers and delights of alcohol.

The show has drawn on many members of the local community who will be on stage and working tirelessly behind the scenes.

It is written and directed by local playwright Derek Webb, with contributions from Maggie Stringer, Mandy Barrowclift, Marc Mordey, Hannah Rackham and POINT, Fishguard among others.

Part of the Communities Together project and funded by the Big Lottery Fund in Fishguard and Goodwick, the aim of the show is to provide an evening of entertainment with plenty of laughs, but with a serious purpose - to promote a healthy relationship with alcohol for individuals and for the community as a whole.

Communities Together is run by Alcohol Concern, the national charity on alcohol misuse for England and Wales. It is not an anti-alcohol organisation or a temperance campaign, its goal is simply to help people increase their understanding of alcohol and to reduce the harm caused by overuse.

Rehearsals are now underway and the show itself will be performed on Saturday, February 20 starting at 7.30pm. Tickets, which include a free mocktail, cost £2 per person or £5 for family ticket (two adults and two young people).
