STOURPORT Three Arts Guild (STAG) is returning to the Civic Hall Theatre to perform an Edinburgh festival award-winning play.

STAG, in association with the Civic Group, will present Party by Tom Basden next Friday and Saturday.

 The group have been performing shows for nearly 60 years and this show sees the group returning to Stourport Civic after 10 years away from the venue.

The play explores what happens when a group of people try and change the world.

Four young idealists have decided to form a new political party to save the world from itself. The new fifth member, Duncan, sets about saving the world from them.

A suburban garden shed is the setting, as the adolescent adults debate forming their own political party.

From the perils of electing a leader and choosing a party name through to the finer intricacies of foreign and environmental policy, this comedy satirises the ambitions, hypocrisy and naivety of those who choose to try to change the world.

John Caldwell, chairman of the Civic group, said: “The Guild has been around for a long time, and used to use the hall for many years.

"It's great that they wanted to come back to the hall and to bring such a great show to life.”
