Carsfold has recently opened its new theatre and the Town's Women's Guild is to present its first live performances - the pantomime `Jack and the Beanstalk' - over Christmas.

But he seems to be able to do nothing straight forward, and when tragedy strikes in the very first Act, he is catapulted back into his professional role with a vengeance: and on a Bank Holiday, nonetheless.Christmas Eve in the Workhouse by Catrin Collier
