DARK doesn't necessarily mean depressing - and Theatre O will prove it when they bring their latest production, tinged with black comedy, to Ashcroft Arts Centre in Fareham next week.

3 Dark Tales tells the story of three people who, though unconnected to each other, are all linked by the nature of their lives.

Dream On Mr Tibble is about a man called Tibble, who relies on his vivid fantasies to escape from his dreary existence; The Unfortunate Predicament of Amelia Sas sees our heroine forced to make a decision in her life; and Frank's Wardrobe delves into the sad life of a man deserted by his family.

3 Dark Tales, by Theatre O, is showing at the Ashcroft Arts Centre, Fareham, on Thursday, March 22 at 7.45pm.

Tickets cost from £5.50.
