Strange Orchestra, a play about life and love in pre-war Chelsea, will be staged by Balham's award-winning Southside players.

The play by Rodney Ackland is tragi-comedy written in 1932 and was a challenge to the drawing room drama that was prevalent at the time. Set in bohemian London, it revolves around eccentric landlady Vera and her guests.

Southside's production is a rare chance to see this unjustly neglected classic.

Performances run from the 2nd to 5th June at the Chestnut Grove Theatre at Chestnut Grove School.

Tickets cost £10 and can be booked via www.southsideplayers.org.uk or on 07914 657524.
