FOREST Forge theatre company has announced a new season of performances exclusively for residential care homes for the elderly and day centres.

The tour is filled with a mixture of riveting plays including Housewives' Choice, an amusing play set in the 1950s that centres around the joys and tribulations of young married life.

In the autumn the company will be touring village halls, art centres and community centres with an especially commissioned play called At The Hop set in the hop fields of Hampshire.

Other plays include Tom Thumb and William Wycherley's restoration version of The Country Wife.
