JACK ABSOLUTE FLIES AGAIN, written by Richard Bean (One Man, Two Guvnors) and Oliver Chris is a completely hilarious farce set in 1940 at RAF Fontwell during the Battle of Britain. And it's Frome Drama Club's production at The Merlin Theatre on 16 – 18 April this year.

The play is very loosely based on Sheridan's The Rivals, and features many of the same characters, notably the world famous Mrs Malaprop, whose mangled verbiage spawned the phrase malapropism. But this version is faster, ruder, funnier and altogether very different from the original. Recommended for ages 14 + and under 120 (if suitably medicated!) 

Tickets are on sale via the Merlin Theatre website or call the box office 01373 465949
