Members of Axminster Drama Club are poised to stage three new plays in July.
All written by members of the club, they are due to be performed in a new theatre space at Axminster Guildhall.
Two of the plays, On Reception and The Inexperienced Ghost, were written by Andrew Coley, who was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for recognition of original writing of new dramatic work at this year's NODA South West Awards.
The third play, Mr Marmite, was written by Simon Hurst, who is also an award winner, with a previous production being recognised at the Exmouth One-Act Play Festival in 2022.
On Reception follows the exploits of two longstanding friends, who work on a reception desk, as they try to keep the surprise retirement party for the office manager a secret from her.
Mr Marmite sees an experienced businessman and councillor being interviewed by a young journalist as they both aim to get their points across.
The Inexperienced Ghost, which is based on a story by H G Wells, tells the tale of a spirit who is trying to work out what he is meant to do in the afterlife.
The plays will be performed upstairs at Axminster Guildhall on Saturday 6 July at 7.30pm.
