THE ever-popular Wessex Actors Company is bringing a powerful new drama to Warminster Library on October 8.

Director Michael Barry retells the tragic story of John Walford, who was hung for the murder of his wife 200 years ago.

Dead Woman's Ditch also the title of the play and Walford's Gibbet are still well known Somerset landmarks, yet few people know the sad story behind these places.

By using original music and songs, Wessex Actors bring this tragedy to life with skill and artistry.

Full details and tickets are available from Warminster Library. Call them on (01985) 216022.
