Farnworth Little Theatre produces Talking Heads by Alan Bennett.

Andrew Gradwell will be playing Graham in A Chip in the Sugar, dealing with his complicated relationship with his mother.

Finally, Caroline Weekes will play Irene in A Lady of Letters, a single woman who finds the power of the pen to be mightier than the sword.
